BRIGHTON FESTIVAL 2019
ROKIA TRAORÉ
DREAM MANDÉ: BAMANAN DJOUROU
“
During my childhood I moved from city to city, country to country, so often that my life in Bamako became a vital point of reference. It was a necessity for me to understand cultures and traditions in Mali, so I could remain rooted and connected, while travelling around the world and integrating with other cultures. As I walk through Brighton, I am struck by the city’s vibrancy, its life, the characters and generous nature. People here look you in the eye, they smile, and talk to you on the bus. Stories abound in this city and it brings me great joy to shed light on some unexpected voices. I hope that through this Festival, you listen to stories from far away and right next door. Stories that touch you, thrill you, and bring you joy. I am honoured to share my stories with you and am filled with joyous anticipation to be the Guest Director for this wonderful Festival of music, art, words and dance. My hope is that this Festival gives you something precious, a new story to hand down for generations to come.”
ROKIA PRESENTS EMERGING MALIAN MUSICIANS WITH A NEW TAKE ON TRADITIONAL AFRICAN MUSIC “A decade ago, I started the Foundation Passerelle in Bamako to inspire and create a platform for young Malian artists, with a long-term view of developing their creative output and investing back into the Malian culture from which my work springs. Part of that process has been the fusion of influences and an interplay between the traditional and the contemporary. This musical show has roots in this cross-fertilisation. Created around West African acoustic instruments such as the kora, n’goni, calabash, cajon – as well as the acoustic bass and guitar – it is a body of work that highlights the ways in which the traditional can give new life to nontraditional, modern and contemporary music. Prepare to hear five musicians and six female singers, led by myself, delivering adaptations of traditional Bambara songs, popular French and international tunes as you’ve never heard them before.” Sat 18 May, 8pm Brighton Dome Concert Hall
NÉ SO
TWENTY YEARS AFTER HER DÉBUT ALBUM, A BRIGHTON FESTIVAL EXCLUSIVE ‘a Malian superstar... a tribute to her country’s legacy of birthing the blues’ Afropop “I have chosen to open the programme with a performance of my album Né So, which is the word for ‘home’ in my language Bambara. It’s a highly energised and personal work, exploring home as a place of rootedness from which, alongside my blues rock band, my creative curiosity can take flight: a place of collaboration through like-minded musicians, and a place of reunion for artists I admire across West Africa and further afield. As a female, an African artist and a mother, I believe there is a larger question encircling these meanings: what it means to belong and stand apart, to start again and move forward but mainly to endure in times of war, exile and crisis, and to find connection and express freedom through it all. I aim to balance the Malian with the international, and the personal with the universal, in this exploration of home.” Sat 4 May, 8pm Brighton Dome Concert Hall brightonfestival.org
DREAM MANDÉ: DJATA UK PREMIERE
‘…not a simple concert, but a complete show’ Le Monde “This show is a work of oral history using wordsmiths and musicians in the Mandinka tradition. It melds together traditional griot structures with my own narrative, to tell the age-old epic of Mandinka civilisation, using parts of the legend of Soundiata Keita – the powerful founding father to the Malian empire. The result is a delicate, intimate and profoundly moving musical story of this ancient and underappreciated culture. It is a reinterpretation that celebrates the flexible style and solid structure of oral and written history, music and community of the Mandinka people. Accompanied by a fina – a bard or cultural master of the word, the kora, the n’goni and djéli – a musical master, I aim to preserve the dramatic, original essence and meaning of a griot story in a foreign language.” Tue 21 May, 8pm Theatre Royal Brighton 3

THEATRE
important. Throw out political correctness, throw in a love triangle, and all the drama happens behind the curtains. After sell-out success at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe, My Left Right Foot makes its maiden visit to Brighton Festival. Irreverent, uplifting and provocative, it is a must-see for lovers of humorous musicals. Tues 14 May - Sat 18 May, 7.30pm Theatre Royal Brighton Tue 14 – Thu 16 May, 7.30pm
BERLIN
TRUE COPY
Based on the true story of possibly the most successful art forger in the world, BERLIN uses its genre-curious style to expose the hypocrisy of the art world. When police tracked down Geert Jan Jansen (and more than 1,600 forged works of Picasso, Dalí, Matisse and Hockney), they put a stop to a 20year career which fooled the art world. Inspired by his story, True Copy explores the constant balancing act required to keep fiction and reality seamless in order to preserve one man’s life – and his deceit of the entire art world. What is the truth, and when does it matter, when a fakery is just as accomplished as the real thing? When is it better to play along with an elaborate lie that diverts from the truth? Performed in Dutch with English surtitles Thu 23 May – Sun 26 May, 8pm Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts KNEEHIGH
TALAWA THEATRE COMPANY AND ROYAL COURT THEATRE
SUPERHOE
Sasha Clayton’s 24 and living with her mum, step-dad, and irritating little sister in Plaistow. She’s gone from being the most popular girl at school to spending most of her time on her own in her bedroom scrolling through social media. She may not have a job or a flat and her boyfriend’s not answering her calls; but she’s got talent and a dream – when she releases her first EP everything’s going to change. Following its soldout run in London, Brighton Festival is excited to welcome Superhoe, Nicôle Lecky’s Royal Court writing debut and the first collaboration between Talawa Theatre Company and the Royal Court Theatre. Sun 19 May, 4.30pm & 8pm Mon 20 & Tue 21 May, 8pm Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts
DEAD DOG IN A SUITCASE
(AND OTHER LOVE SONGS) What the hell is the world coming to? Mayor Goodman has been assassinated. And so has his dog. Contract killer Macheath has just married Pretty Polly Peachum and Mr & Mrs Peachum aren't happy. Not one bit. Kneehigh are back with their theatrical tour-de-force Dead Dog in a Suitcase (and other love songs). Based on John Gay's The Beggar's Opera, Kneehigh's wild reinvention of this classical musical satire is bursting with wit, wonder and weirdness. An extraordinary cast of actor musicians shoot, hoot and shimmy their way through this twisted morality tale for our times. Wed 8 – Sat 11 May, 8pm Thu 9 & Sat 11, 2.30pm Theatre Royal Brighton
GRAVITY & OTHER MYTHS
BACKBONE
‘A perfect combination of fluidity, mettle and danger’ Limelight Magazine The internationally renowned circus company, Gravity and Other Myths, takes the concept and perception of strength and (literally) tosses it into the air. In this ‘dazzling and warm hearted’ performance (The Independent), individual and collective resilience is tested as the company tumble, backflip and walk across each other’s heads – Backbone explores the limits of emotional and physical endurance. This is a strippedback, raw showcase of human ability and connection. With a powerful live soundtrack and beautiful lighting design, expect ‘a genredefying, thought-provoking, visual extravaganza…so intensely beautiful it makes you proud to be human.’ (InDaily) Firstly, can you introduce us to your show and tell us what it is about? Backbone is our second international touring work. It premiered as part of the 2017 Adelaide Festival and since then has taken the world by
BIRDS OF PARADISE AND NATIONAL THEATRE OF SCOTLAND
MY LEFT RIGHT FOOT: THE MUSICAL
The local am-dram society is under pressure to comply with the equalities agenda, so they plan to create a gripping show starring ‘the disabled’. What could be better than the Oscar-winning ‘My Left Foot’? The only snag? Well, they don’t have any disabled actors – but that never stopped Daniel Day-Lewis! In the world of amateur theatre, winning the one-act festival isn’t a matter of life and death – it’s much more brightonfestival.org

storm! The work examines human connection and strength in all its forms; physical, emotional, collective and individual. Why should someone come and see your show? Not only is Backbone filled with dynamic, exciting, high level group acrobatics but it touches audiences, young and old in a deeper way. Our shows have always focused on group dynamics, trust and camaraderie and Backbone is no different. The connection the artists have on stage is engaging and infectious. Where did the idea and inspiration come from? Strength, of all kinds, is inherent in acrobatics so we found it an interesting topic to deconstruct and explore using physicality and acrobatics. What sort of person is going to love this show? We create work for everyone to enjoy so no matter how old you are, if you have seen countless circus shows or none at all, this show will be for you! What will surprise people about this show? The satisfying and beautiful amalgamation of ground-breaking acrobatics, detailed design and production and real humans performing onstage, being themselves. Wed 15 – Fri 17 May, 7.30pm Brighton Dome Concert Hall
FLIGHT
BY VOX MOTUS Based on the novel Hinterland by Caroline Brothers. Adapted by Oliver Emanuel. Designed by Jamie Harrison (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child magic effects and illusions designer) With their small inheritance stitched into their clothes, two children set off on an epic journey across Europe – orphaned brothers on a desperate odyssey to freedom and safety. In Jamie Harrison's and Candice Edmund's unique staging, Flight combines unsettling themes with spellbinding images. Mixing graphic novel with exquisite diorama, it is a story of hope and survival that draws you into its fragile miniature world, compelling you to contemplate the terror of children adrift in dangerous lands. Firstly, can you introduce us to your show and tell us what it is about? Flight is based on the novel Hinterland by Caroline Brothers. It tells the story of two young brothers travelling alone, on foot, from Afghanistan to London. Their journey is an odyssey: a tale of ever-changing fortunes that is in turns life affirming and horrifically brutal. It is a tale of love, brotherhood, the remarkable resilience of those fleeing turmoil, and the power of imagination. Flight is a unique audience experience. Audience members sit in individual booths as a series of 200 handmade diorama revolve before their eyes. The story and soundtrack unfold through a pair of headphones. Why should someone come and see your show? Flight is rewarding on so many levels. The story is current, relevant and heart-wrenching. The ‘staging’ and design are completely unique. The experience is individual and immersive. We have been delighted time and again by those who came to engage with the ‘form’ and lost themselves completely in the story, and those who came to hear the story and were blown away by the design and the audience experience. Where did the idea and inspiration come from? Initially we were inspired by Caroline’s novel ‘Hinterland’, and what (in 2011, when it was published) felt like the ‘under-the-radar’ story of unaccompanied refugee minors. Over the years that we developed Flight the narrative around refugees and asylum seekers in the UK became increasingly divisive and agenda-driven. We wanted to find a storytelling form that would bring this back to the truly personal: just you (the audience) and the brothers journeying together. Our world in miniature was born out of desire to create a one-to-one experience that played with form, challenged us as artists, and enriched the story and themes. We wanted to make something that was full of imagination that honoured the bravery and resilience of children who flee their homes in search of a safe haven. What sort of person is going to love this show? Because of the mix of forms and disciplines, Flight appeals to both theatre audiences and those who would be more inclined to engage with visual art/digital art/cinema. The sound design and sound-track are also exceptional in their own right and open the experience up to music audiences. It is a brilliant show for teenagers, and we can provide some excellent resources for teachers to encourage class discussions around the subject matter. What will surprise people about this show? We have found that audiences have been completely floored by the emotional impact of the story. They come because they have heard of this wildly original carousel of diorama, and don’t expect a series of 3-D models to be so emotionally devastating. Age 14+ Sat 4 – Thu 22 May 8 shows Tue – Fri, 12 Shows Sat & Sun See brightonfestival.org for times King Alfred Leisure Centre
SPYMONKEY
COOPED
Brighton based theatre company, Spymonkey celebrate their 20th anniversary with the show that first made them an international comedy sensation. Cooped is a deliciously demented take on the pulp gothic romance – think Hitchcock’s Rebecca meets The Pink Panther – replete with brilliant characters, rip-roaring farce and virtuoso physical comedy. Beautiful, fawn-like Laura du Lay arrives in the heart of darkest Northumberlandshirehampton to work for the reclusive Forbes Murdston, but there are unsettling rumours that surround her new boss and his ominous manservant Klaus. A spooky mansion, a plucky young heroine and a handsome English aristocrat. Add a German butler and a Spanish soap star and you're...Cooped with Spymonkey! Why should someone come and see your show? In the best tradition of British comedy, from Monty Python to Vic & Bob, Cooped overflows with Spymonkey’s signature clownesque style: brilliant characters, visual humour, slapstick comedy, naughtiness and nudity. It was written with and directed by Cal McCrystal, the comedy genius behind the National Theatre’s One Man Two Guvnors and some of the bestloved sequences of the Paddington films. Where did the idea and inspiration come from? Inspirations include The Pink Panther, Alfred Hitchcock, Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, pulp gothic romance in film and fiction, and director Cal McCrystal’s childhood obsession with the American TV Gothic Soap Opera - Dark Shadows What sort of person is going to love this show? Comedy fans, physical theatre and circus fans, lovers of grown-up silliness, sophisticated fun-seekers, anyone looking for an entertaining and laugh out loud evening. What will surprise people about this show? Cooped notably contains the most hilariously ill-positioned fig-leaves since Adam and Eve danced a pas-de-deux! Wed 22 - Sat 25 May, 7.30pm Sat 25 - Sun 26 May, 2.30pm Pavilion Theatre, Worthing brightonfestival.org

CONTEMPORARY MUSIC
favourites Moses Boyd Exodus in the main room; in our foyer, two legendary UK turntablists, Mr Thing & DJ Format, plus Huw Bowles, will be spinning all night long. Firstly, can you introduce us to your show and tell us what it is about? My name is Moses Boyd and I’m the leader of the Exodus. Exodus is my journey in sound, sounds I’ve been crafting and perfecting over the years. Why should someone come and see your show? Because the music will transport you from your current reality into unknown dimensions. Where did the idea and inspiration come from? From my heroes Wayne Shorter, Duke Ellington, Wiley, The Outkast, as well as all the sounds and communities I’ve been around. What sort of person is going to love this show? Hopefully those that were there during the rave scene years. Also lovers of deep groove and jazz. What will surprise people about this show? I have some new young talent in my band, so lots of new energy, a new musical set up and new music. Sun 5 May, 6pm Brighton Dome Concert Hall
EYE TO EYE
WORLD PREMIERE | BRIGHTON FESTIVAL COMMISSION ‘You know, everybody in the world used to be a child, or is a child.’ After craving music during pregnancy, writer and theatre-maker Sheila Hill embarked on a quest to make a work about motherhood. Sheila’s diaries, from the first seven years of her son’s life, are the starting point for an extraordinary musical collaboration with
composer Howard Skempton, jazz trumpeter and co-composer Byron Wallen, heading a band of four leading musicians, soloist Melanie Pappenheim, and a 100 strong chorus of women and children trained by Glyndebourne. From the vulnerabilities of pregnancy, and the shock of birth, through the adjustment to school and society, and on to early autonomy, Eye to Eye explores the elemental story of mother and child. Sat 11 May, 7.30pm & Sun 12 May, 2.30pm Brighton Dome Concert Hall
SLOW MOVING CLOUDS
A contemporary acoustic band based in Dublin combine roots in Nordic and Irish traditional music with minimalist and experimental influences to create a sound unlike anything you’ve heard before. On their new album Starfall on Justin Vernon’s new label People, Slow Moving Clouds blend traditional and contemporary melodies, evocative Nordic vocals, and layered string soundscapes of cello, violin and nyckelharpa. The lush and darkly atmospheric results have drawn comparisons to Icelandic minimalist legends Sigur Ros and Irish traditional supergroup The Gloaming. Fri 24 May, 8pm The Old Market

TEATR BIURO PODROZY
SILENCE
Poland's Teatr Biuro Podrozy make their Brighton debut with this extraordinary large-scale spectacle, a moving insight into the lives of ordinary citizens trapped by war. Enduring constant incursions, endless humiliations and the ever-present threat of violence, we see the occupants of a city that could be anywhere and yet feels familiar to many in we hear about in our daily news cycle. Under threat by soldiers roaring through their lives on motorbikes, intimidated by the extraordinary menace of flaming stilt walkers burning all around them, Teatr Biuro Podrozy use light, sound and pyrotechnics to conjure the visceral reality of war. However, this dystopian tale is also a moving celebration of the resilience of communities and their extraordinary capacity for survival.

DANCE
TJIMUR DANCE THEATRE
VARHUNG: HEART TO HEART
SÉANCERS
Performance artist Jaamil Olawale Kosoko conjours themes of paranormal activity, loss and resurrection as he explores black identities through his work. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Kosoko draws on his own experiences, including the deaths of family members, as well as inspiration from other art forms in a piece that brings together movement, song, spoken word and a live score from Bessie award-winning composer Jeremy ToussaintBaptiste. Firstly, can you introduce us to your show and tell us what it is about? Séancers is a work that considers ways in which we hold space for loss, and essentially how we fill the space of loss. Why should someone come and see your show? The audience will learn how loss can possibly generate new pathways to understanding the self, others, and the process of the world. Holding space for mourning and grief while also creating space for celebration in the presences of community feels important in this moment. Where did the idea and inspiration come from? My previous piece #Negrophobia was described as a kind of séance as I toured it throughout Europe over the past couple of years. It felt like a natural progression to lean more into themes of paranormal activity, loss and resurrection as it relates to Black identities. Black conceptual technologies such as ‘fugivity’, ‘afro-pessimism’ and ‘intersectionality’ (Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw) have given me a deeper intellectual framework to ground the ideas and metaphors that are situated inside my new work. Lastly, the work has become a way for me to stay in close relationship to my dead family, as I am now the only living member of my immediate family. What sort of person is going to love this show? I am constantly surprised with the kinds of people who seem to really connect with the show, but to name a few: queer and trans communities, older people, academics, students, black folks, poets and visual artists. What will surprise people about the show? The imagery and the poetic metaphor… in addition to some fun costumes and kisses! Thu 16 May & Fri 17 May, 8pm Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts
brightonfestival.org
Tjimur presents a richly patterned, open-hearted performance that shows how the Paiwan people, not used to discussing private feelings, use artforms to bring them to the surface. Working in close collaboration with the company’s founding artistic director Ljuzem Madiljin, in-house choreographer (and sibling) Baru Madiljin works with dynamic dancers to show how even a simple task such as weaving can lay bare your deepest emotions. Such fine-tuned awareness lends the distinctly personal and tribal impulses of Varhung: Heart to Heart an eloquent universal resonance. Fri 24 & Sat 25 May, 8pm Sat 25 May, 2pm Theatre Royal Brighton TRIBE//
STILL I RISE
TRIBE//’s debut work Still I Rise is a call to arms performed by an all-female cast. Raw, gutsy emotive and visceral dance work from choreographer Victoria Fox creates a stark world where the dancers push forwards with uplifting determination. This dance work channels the resilient, unapologetic nature of the seminal poem, written by African-American writer, singer, and activist Maya Angelou. A relentless hope for the human spirit, combined with a soundtrack from pounding beats to classical arias, drives the journey onwards, falling down, gathering up…until we rise. Why should someone come and see your show? I hope that an audience will dive into TRIBE//’s onstage world with the dancers, like watching a film. To be moved, to feel a range of emotions, from defiant, broken, and powerful to hopeful and free. There is no narrative ‘to get’, it’s open to your interpretation, there is not one ‘right’ message; this work will mean something different to everyone. Bringing people together, gathering people, looking at our resilience seems to be important for our current times. Where did the idea and inspiration come from? I have always wanted to create an all-female piece of work and questioned how I would like to see female dancers portrayed on stage. After having 6 years out from performing, I had a collection of questions, images, feelings and atmospheres that I wanted to play with and create movement from. I saw the video of Maya Angelou Still I Rise and was amazed by her, how she introduces the poem and how she performs with confidence, wit, and inner strength. I found myself questioning her ability to reach out to people and touch their core with her words. The poem holds together my work; it is like the backbone it encapsulates and ties it together. What sort of person is going to love this show? It’s a powerful, absorbing and emotive show. I’m hoping it will make the audience really feel they are with the dancers. It’s contemporary dance that is very physical at times and demands a lot of technical dance skill to perform. Still I Rise has five outstanding female dancers, who take the audience on a journey through simmering tensions, moments of unison, emotive solos and physical partnering. It speaks to everybody, whether you have seen contemporary dance before or not. You cannot help but be moved by the dancers’ journey, abilities and skill. Wed 22 May, 8pm Theatre Royal Brighton Thu 23 May, 7.30pm Connaught Theatre, Worthing

THE PAPPYSHOW
BOYS
Celebrating male tenderness, silliness, vulnerability and community with a cast of young men of colour from England, BOYS gives us a window to share their experiences, their hopes, families and globe-spanning heritage. In their stories, brought alive by a ‘slick and impressive’ (The Reviews Hub) physical performance, you will see reflections of your brothers, friends, parents and lovers. Unscripted, with each story uniquely told in every performance, BOYS is a joyful and tender dance that hopes to unravel preconceptions and uncover the endless possibilities that can make up a man. Firstly, can you introduce us to your show and tell us what it is about? In an era where toxic masculinity is the dominant narrative of the male experience, BOYS explores and celebrates diverse experiences of manhood centred on the stories of nine men of colour growing up in London: their ancestry, their present lives, and their hopes for the future. The way we move, the way we talk, the way we think… we want to show you the things about boys that you never get to see! It’s a joyful, fascinating and socially revelatory look at what it means to be a man in 2019, subverting the myths and stereotypes of the masculine experience - particularly young men of colour. It combines this with beautiful, playful, movement-driven visual theatre, powerful and humorous direct storytelling, and joyous interactive play. Why should someone come and see your show? It’s a celebration – there’s lots of happiness and joy. It adds to the discussion on masculinity, particularly in young men of colour. We hope people will take away questions on what it means to be a man, and their relationships with the other men in their lives. What sort of person is going to love this show? Anyone! The show is aimed at all people! Sat 25 May, 7.30pm Sat 25 & Sun 26 May, 7.30pm Sun 26 May 2.30pm The Old Market
NOT TODAY'S YESTERDAY
A unique collaboration between award-winning UK Bharatanatyam artist Seeta Patel and Australian choreographer Lina Limosani, Not Today's Yesterday is a one-woman politically charged dance blending techniques from Indian Bharatanatyam, contemporary dance and theatre (and channelling the tension of a Grimms’ fairytale). The piece questions the distorted narratives we have come to accept as accurate history. In its first appearance at Brighton Festival, Not Today’s Yesterday offers you a chance to engage in the most important geo-political conversations of this decade. Is your event touring, a premiere, or a one-off for the Brighton Festival? It had a run at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2017, then a UK tour, a show in Italy and India and will continue to tour in Autumn 2019. Why should someone come and see your show? It’s seductive in its storytelling and visually layered, with an evocative sound design. But I can only touch the tip of the iceberg with words. This is an unusual show sitting between dance and theatre that needs to be seen. In the words of a writer from the ‘twobrowngirls’ publication who saw the work in its early days: “I’d seen the work in progress around a year ago and it was haunting, hypnotic and extremely clever in its execution. Through the medium of a fairy-tale story, it draws people in with eerie familiarity, but as with any fairy-tale there are always dark undertones. Parts are grotesque and exaggerated with caricatures of colonial supremacy, but other parts are gentle and vulnerable as Seeta gazes wide-eyed into the depths of what was.” Where did the idea and inspiration come from? The inspiration stems from our concerns that revisionist and airbrushed histories have become a central issue of tension throughout the world, particularly in Western democracies. Britain and Australia, amongst others, have sordid histories and relationships with indigenous and migrant communities. Skewed histories fuel a distorted sense of nationalism. This work aims to open up conversation through a clever appropriation of whitewashed histories. What sort of person is going to love this show? From children to the elderly and anyone that likes hearing stories and wants to be taken on a journey. This work is relatable to those versed as well as new to dance. The show is a great way into the medium of dance through nuanced storytelling and visuals. It is attractive to those interested in relevant political questions (without being bashed over the head with politics). It is an emotional and visual way into a complex set of political questions, which can then be chewed over in our special postshow discussion with me and invited guests. What will surprise people about this show? There is some very impactful imagery in the work and lots and lots of small details to be tantalised by. And the end is an exquisite hyperbole – operatic even. Thu 23 May, 8pm Theatre Royal Brighton brightonfestival.org
WIM VANDEKEYBUS / ULTIMA VEZ
TRAPTOWN
UK Premiere In TrapTown, choreographer Wim Vandekeybus has created a distinct but unfamiliar world riven by a long-running conflict but where the sparks of freedom are emerging. Joining forces with architect duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh, he creates a rich dance landscape that continues to look at the universal appeal of myth — an idea his works have continued to investigate since Blush in 2002 and more recently in Oedipus/bêt noir in 2011. Using a variety of artforms – dance, film, spoken word and an original musical score by Trixie Whitley and Phoenician Drive – Vandekeybus creates a complex and sensational multimedia alternative reality that moves audiences from catharsis to euphoria. Why should someone come and see your show? Young and old, fan of dance or rather into theatre and movies? TrapTown is a mixture of different arts melting together in a mythological history. Where did the idea and inspiration come from? From the old myths and the stories of today. Wim Vandekeybus’ fascination for the universal nature of the age-old myths was already demonstrated in Blush (2002) and Oedipus/bêt noir (2011). For TrapTown, he returns to the limitless and obscure cosmos of the ancient souls, using dance, film, text and music to conceive a new mythology. What will surprise people about this show? Dance and film sequences create a seamless live experience. Pieter De Buysser writes the text. The soundtrack is composed by Trixie Whitley and Phoenician Drive and forms the background to an avalanche of images. The architect duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh signed for the design of the scenography. All together they take the audience to oracles, catharsis and euphoria. Tue 21 May, 7.30pm Brighton Dome Concert Hall 9

CLASSICAL
novelist Patrick Chamoiseau. The essays of anthropologist Martin Lienhard were Pécou’s second source of ideas and inspirations. Lienhard studied the point of view of the slaves and the Africans at the time of the slave trade, by looking at historical elements such as the words of the chants in AfroBrazilian rituals, or court rulings. Pécou invents his own rite, as powerful by its organic violence as by the melodic bitterness which infuses his work. What will surprise people about this show? Whilst dealing with the dark chapter of French history, slave trade, the composer avoids pathos or romanticism. Also, audiences will listen to a night in the rain forest with rustling sounds of insects, musically transposed by chimes; the chimes, as it turns out, represent the little bell attached to the captive’s ankle. Thu 16 May, 8pm All Saints Church
ENSEMBLE CORRESPONDANCES
Founded a decade ago in Lyon by the organist and harpsichordist Sébastien Daucé, this ensemble of specialist vocalists and instrumentalists is passionate about rediscovering musical forms and composers now almost forgotten. This concert recreates life in the salons of Louis XIII’s court with vocal music reflecting themes of night, love and poetry alongside some of the ballet music featured in the court carnivals which were a mixture of art, socialising and politics and which marked the end of winter at the Louvre court. Sun 5 May, 3pm Glyndebourne
A CHILD OF OUR TIME Tippett’s A Child of Our Time, was inspired by the assassination in 1938 of a German diplomat by a young Jewish refugee, and the Nazi government's violent reaction against its Jewish population, called ‘Kristallnacht’. The oratorio, which has five African-American spirituals at its heart, was composed at the start of WWII and reflects the experiences of oppressed people, carrying a strongly pacifist message of ultimate understanding and reconciliation. Beethoven’s Concerto for Violin, Cello and Piano in C major, popularly known as the Triple Concerto, is performed by young artists Trio Isimsiz. This special concert is performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra alongside Brighton Festival Chorus and a cast of world-class soloists. It promises a deeply emotional journey and a particularly poignant end to our 2019 Festival programme. Sun 26 May, 7.30pm Brighton Dome Concert Hall
ENSEMBLE VARIANCES
OUTRE MÉMOIRE
Founded in 2009 by Martiniquan-French composer and pianist Thierry Pécou, Ensemble Variances seeks to link contemporary music to the humanitarian and environmental concerns of our time. Outre Mémoire (Outside Memory) is a 70-minute, 12 movement work scored for solo piano, flute, clarinet and cello that memorialises the impact of the transatlantic slave trade. By playing around the audience, the quartet creates a meditative, spiritually reflective piece that travels aurally from the African continent to the South American subcontinent and Martinique in the Caribbean. Through this work, we are invited to face the truths that the multitude of different colours of people in our cities and the subsequent racial inequalities are the direct consequence of the slave trade and colonisation. Firstly, can you introduce us to your show and tell us what it is about? Outre Mémoire takes audiences on an aural travelogue of the transatlantic slave trade of the eighteenth century. Pécou will take the audience on a voyage of rhythms, colours and themes combining Afro-American work songs, the Brazilian Candomble and jazz. Why should someone come and see your show? It’s Thierry Pécou’s signature piece and most personal work. During the performance, the musicians encircle the audience offering an immersive experience - which is uncommon for audiences these days! Where did the idea and inspiration come from? Inspired by his own Martinique heritage, Thierry Pécou’s compositions reflect the words of Martinique poet and essayist Edouard Glissant, as well as brightonfestival.org
STILE ANTICO AND RIHAB AZAR
SONGS OF LONGING AND EXILE
Multiple award-winning early music vocal ensemble Stile Antico joins with remarkable Syrian oud performer Rihab Azar for a unique collaboration inspired by the challenges faced by today's refugees and migrants. Poet Peter Oswald has written new texts based on migrant testimonies to fit English Rennaissance composer John Dowland's Lachrimae pavans, sung by the 12-strong group. Between these settings, Azar, who is strongly influenced by her Syrian and Arabic roots, plays her own semi-improvised pieces, before she unites with Stile Antico for the premiere of a new work specially written for these performers by Giles Swayne.

YOUNG BRIGHTON FESTIVAL GROOVE BABY
GROOVE UNDER THE SEA/INTO SPACE
Structured around movement and adventure and played by professional jazz musicians, Groove Baby is not your average kiddie jam! Created by Cameron Reynolds as a special hybrid performance for 3 to 7-year-olds and their carers, it incorporates appropriately themed storytelling that engages kids. Designed to give parents an opportunity to get out and see a top concert while entertaining the little ones, Groove Baby avoids dumbing down and instead focuses on making each themed live gig as fun, engaging and exciting as possible for children. Whether you Groove Under the Sea or Groove Into Space, make sure you come with your best moves! Firstly, can you introduce us to your show and tell us what it is about? Groove Baby is all about creating jazz and contemporary gigs that engage the whole family; rather than dumbing down the music we use stories and interaction to engage the little ones. It is a hybrid show – not a ‘kid’s show’. Why should someone come and see your show? Any family with small children will love this because the adults can see some great music while entertaining the little ones. Where did the idea and inspiration come from? After I had my own child I wanted to create something that I would like to see – great music that fits with my parenting lifestyle. What sort of person is going to love this show? Parents with children of any age, but especially 3 – 7 yrs. What will surprise people about this show? The music is great and adventurous while still being entertaining for everyone.

BOOKS & DEBATE
SOME SMALL ISLE
CHARLIE BRINKHURST-CUFF, ZENA EDWARDS, SHARMAINE LOVEGROVE & ROGER ROBINSON From 2017, British government policy put people from Commonwealth territories who arrived in the UK before 1973 increasingly at risk of deportation. These hostile government policies struck poet Zena Edwards, whose mother was asked to fill in forms to prove her residence, and prompted Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff to edit Mother Country, an anthology documenting the importance of the HMT Empire Windrush. Together with poet-musician Roger Robinson and publisher Sharmaine Lovegrove, Zena and Charlie discuss how Black people document their histories and how they respond to injustice as artists – whether beautifully or brutally.

PEN TRANSLATES 250
WITH DANIEL HAHN Since its launch in 2012, PEN Translates (the English PEN scheme to promote translation for books from other languages into English), has supported 250 titles. Amongst the authors it has brought us are widely recognised award-winners such as Alain Mabanckou, Han Kang and José Eduardo Agualusa. Brighton Festival marks this milestone in a panel celebrating the contribution of translation to the UK’s reading culture. Firstly, can you introduce us to your show and tell us what it is about? The show will be commemorating a programme that has supported the publication of over 250 international books in the UK. The PEN Translates programme has enabled writing from all over the world to be made available to UK readers. Why would someone come and see your show? Translation is booming in the UK! As is an interest in what’s happening beyond our borders, so we’ll be talking about how stories can travel and how international fiction can enlighten us about the rest of the world, as well as introducing readers to some amazing new writers. Where did the idea and inspiration come from? The English PEN programme that supports the promotion of translations in the UK has just hit its 250-book milestone, so this is a great opportunity to talk about why the world’s writing is exciting and important. What sort of person is going to love this show? Readers who like to read widely, who like to discover new voices, people who have broad international horizons. Mon 6 May, 7pm Brighton & Hove Prep School

SPONSORS & PATRONS
VICKY KING OF GRIFFITH SMITH, FESTIVAL SPONSOR What kind of business you are in? I have been working as the Marketing Executive for local law firm, Griffith Smith for over 4 years and we look after clients across all of Sussex with additional offices in Hassocks and Henfield. How long you have lived in Brighton? I am actually considered a rare breed as I am born and bred in Brighton! What made you decide to become a sponsor or patron of Brighton Festival? On joining Griffith Smith it was clear that there was a synergy between Brighton Dome & Festival and the firm – they have both been part of the Brighton community for a number of years. I felt being a sponsor of the Festival was a natural partnership and one that has benefitted by our clients and our staff. Is this your first year or have you been a supporter before? I believe this is our fourth or fifth year of supporting Brighton Festival and each year we are excited to see the programme of events and share this with our team and client base How does it benefit your organisation? The relationship has continued to develop over the years and we feel that the Brighton Festival & Dome is a perfect fit within our overall marketing objectives. As a firm we want to ensure that we support our local community and the Festival is a main part of the Brighton calendar. It links to our firm’s strap line; Modern Practice. Traditional Values. How many events do you usually attend at Brighton Festival? Personally I try and attend at least 4 or 5. 2 or 3 of these are random picks from the overall festival programme, I think it is great to experience new events that you wouldn’t normally go too. Staff within the firm also attend events with their contacts or families and they are always eager to see the programme on release. Would you recommend becoming a sponsor/patron to others? I think as a business working within Brighton it is important to support local events and as the Festival is such a huge part of the community it seems like a natural partnership and one that hopefully will benefit both our clients and the wider community
BARBAROS TANC, BRIGHTON FESTIVAL PATRON I am originally from Turkey and I came to England as a political refugee in 1990. My wife was due to give birth to our first child, so I had to escape the country for a new life. When I was in Turkey, I was studying Pharmacy and I didn't get a chance to finish my degree as I was arrested in my last year and spent three years in prison. Then I came to the UK where I studied for my Sociology degree, my Social Anthropology Masters and PHD and while studying I worked as a builder to support my family. What do you do? I am a cafe owner and also have a building company based in Brighton. I own Cafe Rust and we have sites in Brighton, Hove and Kemptown. I love the social aspect of running cafes as I am continually meeting new people from all walks of life. How long you have lived in Brighton? I have lived in Brighton for almost 30 years. I love being by the seaside and living alongside lots of creative, open minded people. I have now lived in Brighton longer than I have lived anywhere else in the world! What made you decide to support Brighton Festival? A close friend Gary Miller mentioned to me about joining him in becoming a sponsor and my daughter thought it would be a great idea. She was commissioned by the festival in 2018 and is a huge advocate for the organisation, which helped make my decision much easier. Is this your first year or have you been a supporter before? This is my first year and it has been great so far... I can't wait for the festival to begin! How do you choose what to see at the Festival? My daughter chooses the dance for me and I look at the world music and art events. I am really excited about Rokia Traoré being the festival director this year. I first saw her at WOMAD festival in 2004 so can't wait to see her again. Would you recommend becoming a sponsor/patron to others? Yes, definitely. I am really pleased to be a Brighton Festival Patron and I would love to see more diversity amongst the patrons in the future. The arts should be accessible to everybody. It shouldn't be a luxury, art is a necessity.
GIADA DEL DRAGO, FESTIVAL PATRON What were your motivations for joining the Patrons Circle? I wanted to support this exciting festival that brings a huge dose of talent, arts & culture into the city that I currently call home. What do you enjoy most about being a patron? I enjoy being invited to the gala dinners and receptions, where I have met many interesting people who are equally passionate about the arts. I love being able to watch rehearsals for the shows and see what goes on behind the scenes as well as getting the insider scoop on artists involved in each Festival. How many events do you usually attend at Brighton Festival and how to you choose what to see? I attend a lot of the children's events which are a lot of fun for both my child and I. I enjoy watching some of the rehearsals and then recommend the standout shows from there. I'm personally always excited by anything interactive or mixed media that incorporates film, music and dance. I like the more experimental offerings that challenge traditional spectatorship conventions or have strong impressive set design and art direction. I will always try to see shows or attend events along those lines along with the big concerts such as this year: Rokia Traoré/Festival Director and Neneh Cherry. Would you recommend becoming a sponsor/patron to others? Absolutely! Being a festival patron has greatly enriched my experience of living in Brighton! To find out more about being a Patron visit brightonfestival.org/support_us/patrons_circle/
NICK PULLEY OF SELECTIVE ASIA, FESTIVAL SPONSOR What kind of business you are in? Selective Asia is a tailor-made travel specialist. We create bespoke holidays & adventures to 19 countries across Asia. What made you decide to become a sponsor or patron of Brighton Festival? The festival is such an important part of Brighton’s DNA, in fact the first time I came to Brighton was to see a show! Is this your first year or have you been a supporter before? First year and it’s been great fun and really informative so far. How does it benefit your organisation? We have created a guide to the best Asian restaurants in Brighton named Selective Bites which will be available throughout the Festival from the Festival ticket office and the Dome foyer. Beyond that it’s a great opportunity for the entire Selective Asia team to feel one step closer to a city they all love. How do you choose what to see? I love the wow shows, like Backbone this year. Quirk is also high on the list and this years’ Wet Sounds is a must. Would you recommend becoming a sponsor/patron to others? Undoubtedly, it’s a great way to give back and be part of some really important development. We were shown the phenomenal work going on in the Corn Exchange the other day. And anything else you would like to mention? Be sure to enter the Selective Bites competition – there’s a meal at all 7 of our featured restaurants to be won as well as some tickets to Varhung: Heart to Heart, a brilliant dance company from Taiwan, which we are really proud to be lead sponsor of this year. brightonfestival.org
