2 | Ageas Salisbury International Arts Festival 2015

salisburyfestival.co.uk

Welcome …to the 2015 Festival, where for 16 packed days this summer Salisbury will resound with artistic encounters of every shape and form, from music to circus, theatre to comedy, and we will welcome artists from over 20 nations. Our starting point this year is the sunrise, continuing a four-year journey tracing the passage of the sun from night to day. We focus on a glorious Eastern dawn, with the arts and culture of the Middle East taking centre stage. Rarely are we given the chance to fully explore the work of the region’s artists and the rich culture behind the conflict-ridden news headlines with which we are all familiar. I hope that the events in this year’s programme offer an opportunity to widen our understanding of both the history and the everyday lives of the diverse people who call the region home. And so over

Box Office: 0845 241 9651

the Festival fortnight you can explore the fascinating archaeology of Egypt, the stunning film of Turkey and Iran, urgent poetry from Afghanistan and mouthwatering recipes from Israel, not to forget experiences that bring alive the ancient literature of the region, exhibitions that respond to recent conflicts, and a host of contemporary commentators speaking about everything from the Noah myth to the history of the camel. But that’s only half of the story. Our idyllic corner of England, Wiltshire, plays a role as ever, offering you the chance to chase theatrical wolves around Longleat, or be charmed by birdsong in Coombe Bissett. And Salisbury sits at the heart of it all, with many events made here, only seen here, and bringing to life the city’s many stories. We commemorate Magna Carta’s 800th anniversary with a major production

of King John in our Cathedral, while Betrayal transforms a city centre car park into a crime scene with music, dance and theatre woven together to create an immersive experience like no other. An extended City Encounters returns to our opening weekend, when every city street corner will be filled with free theatre, dance and circus, plus an international market and family activities. We start with Market Songs, a music theatre commission for 400 community singers in and around the Market Place, telling the 900-year-old story of Salisbury as a trading city - a coming together that perfectly signals the start of a Festival that is yours to explore over two unmissable weeks.

Before Sunrise Friday 22 May 6pm Salisbury Arts Centre Tickets ÂŁ8 With Before Sunrise in 1995, Richard Linklater began one of the greatest and most enduring romances of modern cinema. When Jesse and Celine meet on a European train, the connection is instantaneous. Jesse convinces Celine to alight with him in Vienna and they spend one glorious night roaming the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streets, talking about life and the universe, and slowly falling for each other. As the sun rises, the film ends on one of the biggest cliff hangers in film history.

Great music, free entry and a great vibe - Salisbury Live returns, running over all three weekends of the Festival for the first time and offering six nights of gigs held in participating pubs and venues across the city. If you love live music, Salisbury Live is a brilliant way to experience the Festival. Look out for details on the Festival website in April or pick up a Salisbury Live leaflet. Sponsored by

Market Songs A Festival commission for massed voices Friday 22 May 8pm Market Place and surrounding city streets FREE The massed voices of our biggest-ever Festival Chorus will come together to create Market Songs, a large-scale music theatre commission that will take over the city’s Market Place and its surrounding streets for one summer evening, the opening event of the 2015 Ageas Salisbury International Arts Festival. Composer Michael Betteridge has written a new collection of market songs, rounds, choruses and cries that explore the trades around which the city’s early life flourished, using music to bring seven centuries of colourful history to life, tracing the development of Salisbury as a market town and culminating in a celebration that reflects on the contemporary market that continues to run to this day.

Box Office: 0845 241 9651

400 singers, working with Betteridge, music director Howard Moody and director Ben Occhipinti, will animate streets that retain their trade names today – Butcher Row, Fish Row and Silver Street to name a few – before coming together in the Market Place for the evening’s spectacular finale, promising the surround sound experience of massed voices for the assembled crowd.

Tickets £8

Sema Kaygusuz, award-winning Turkish author and screenwriter, is a distinctive voice in the canon of young Turkish literature, which concerns itself increasingly with questions of identity and individuality. She joins us, in conversation with her translator Maureen Freely, to read from her recent collection of short stories and to discuss her work. In The Well of Trapped Words folk tales, myth, allegory and metaphor combine in a clever and entertaining collection of short stories that reveal modern Turkish society in all its complexity and nuance.

James Runcie, award-winning writer and son of the former Archbishop of Canterbury, introduces his novel Sidney Chambers and the Forgiveness of Sins which became Grantchester, a prime time drama for ITV last year. Runcie has written seven novels, including three previous Sidney Chambers books in which the loveable full-time priest and part-time detective continues his sleuthing adventures in 1960s Cambridge, bringing a dose of Midsomer Murders to the Church of England. A second series of Grantchester is being made this year.

Tonight biographer John Campbell will be in conversation with Sir Hayden Phillips about Roy Jenkins, the best Prime Minister Britain never had. Jenkins was a radical Home Secretary in the 1960s and founded the Social Democratic Party which later formed the Liberal Democrats. Sir Hayden worked closely with Roy Jenkins from 1974 to 1979, as his Private Secretary when he was Home Secretary for a second time and then again in Brussels when he became President of the European Commission. Campbell’s biography of Jenkins was shortlisted for the 2014 Samuel Johnson Prize and the Costa Biography Award.

Saturday 23 May 7.30pm Salisbury Arts Centre

Gabbeh, directed by Mohsen Makhmalbaf, is screening on Friday 29 May (see page 29).

Saturday 23 May 7.30pm Salisbury Cathedral

Tickets £10 Spend an evening with the acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf, as he discusses one of his most personal films along with the UK première of a new documentary about his extraordinary filmmaking family. In the intriguingly plotted A Moment of Innocence, Makhmalbaf casts young actors to recreate a lifechanging moment from his youth. In doing so, he blurs the lines between fact and fiction in a witty, multi-layered story of love and revolution. Daddy’s School reveals how he moved from making Box Office: 0845 241 9651

films to making film makers, with his prodigious children winning awards at festivals while still in their teens. Daddy’s School UK première: Hassan Solhjoo Iran | 2014 | 71 minutes | Certificate 12 In Persian with English subtitles A Moment of Innocence: Mohsen Makhmalbaf Iran | 1996 | 78 minutes | Recommended Ages 15+ | In Persian with English subtitles

Tickets £22.50, £17.50 Mor Karbasi burst onto the global world music scene in 2008, and has continued since to capture audiences internationally with her gorgeous, exceptional voice. Born in Jerusalem to a mother from Nazareth of Moroccan descent and a father from Jerusalem of Persian ancestry, Karbasi’s music is fed by several cultures, with Persian, Moroccan, Spanish and of course Israeli influences coming together to create a predominately Sephardic Jewish

repertoire. From traditional Jewish songs to her own contemporary compositions, Karbasi takes us on a journey around the Mediterranean, from Morocco to her native Israel. Her most recent album, 2014’s La Tsadika, was hailed as ‘triumphant’ by Songlines magazine, and her rich music, performed with a largely acoustic band of four hand-picked musicians, will sing out in the unrivalled acoustic of the Cathedral.

Ear Trumpet invites us to listen in...

A dynamic new outdoor work for five male performers, Of Man and Beast is a powerful, sensitive and revealing look at male group dynamics that uncovers the many faces of man – strength, camaraderie, vulnerability and hostility.

T E Lawrence was one of the most charismatic characters of the First World War and wrote an epic, personal account of the Arabs’ revolt against the Turks in Seven Pillars of Wisdom. But few people realise that Lawrence burnt the first version of his book. Drawing on surviving letters, diaries, museum records and Foreign Office documents, acclaimed historian Anthony Sattin tells this story. He reveals what Lawrence wanted to conceal: the truth of his birth, his tortuous relationship with a dominant mother, his deep affection for an Arab boy and intimate details of his travels.

Featuring a BBQ , bar and children’s entertainment, Live @ the Farm offers an exciting afternoon and evening of pop, rock, folk and acoustic music. Headlining this year are cow-punk icons Lady Winwoods Maggot, plus support from The Fabulous Fish Brothers, Lyrical Monsoon and the Passenger Club - plus many more acts to be confirmed.

Relax on our comfy cushions as Lyngo Theatre guides you through the four seasons and celebrates the wonders of nature. Falling leaves, snowflakes, cherry blossom and baby birds showcase the seasons in a soft and playful interactive adventure for the first-time theatre goer.

Josephine is putting on a play with the help of her friends Boris and Sistahl. The play is about anorexia. But don’t let that put you off. Unflinchingly they confront big issues (and extremely tiny ones). Today they tackle a particularly thin elephant in the room. Obsession,

addiction and not wanting to get out of bed. With absurd physical theatre, original songs and personal struggle, Mess is darkly funny, deeply moving and incredibly bold. A clever and innovative piece, it provides stark insight into the thoughts of someone with anorexia. FREE post-event talk

traditional music and steeped in folk law, their story is told by three blind “dengbej” storytellers, who eventually weave themselves into the tale. Hüseyin Karabey | Turkey | 2014 | 105 minutes | Recommended Ages 15+ In Turkish/Kurdish with English subtitles UK première

In the winter of 1922-23 archaeologist Howard Carter and his wealthy patron, the Fifth Earl of Carnarvon, sensationally opened the tomb of Tutankhamen. Six weeks later Carnarvon died. The popular press went wild with rumours of a curse on those who disturbed the Pharaoh’s rest. Roger Luckhurst, Professor in Modern and Contemporary Literature at Birkbeck College, University of London, explores why the myth has captured the British imagination and how it has affected popular culture.

Four jugglers and four ballet dancers share a stage for the first time, as 4 x 4 celebrates where these paths meet in a unique dialogue. Following the international success of their sensational Smashed show, an undoubted highlight of the 2012 Festival, 4 x 4 revisits the Gandini’s love affair with pure patterns and mathematics, creating delicate new architectures that take us on fleeting journeys through time and space.

This two-part evening explores the world of Franz Schubert, a composer who lived in extraordinary times, with revolution sweeping across Europe and a growing Romantic movement that created works of art that are still revered today.

It is October 1820, and Schubert and his closest friends are gathered together, drinking in celebration of art, freedom and love. Yet, before the evening ends they will be arrested by the secret police and their fractured circle will never be complete again.

First, we re-create a ‘Schubertiade’ in St Thomas’s Church, a curious form that developed in the years after the composer’s death to honour his memory through his music. The composer’s Box Office: 0845 241 9651

German Lieder are our focus, of which he wrote over 600. In the company of two of the UK’s finest young singers, tonight we journey through a hand-picked selection of Schubert’s finest songs and duets for mezzo-soprano and tenor unashamedly the best of the composer’s best, from An die Musik Erlkönig, song after song reflecting on love, loss and life, and from every perspective.

Featuring a cast of four actor-musicians as Schubert and his close circle of friends, Re:Sound will transform the Cosy Club into a 19th century Viennese drinking-house, for an immersive drama that takes us into the heady Romantic world of the composer.

Re-creating this eventful evening through drama and music, with more than a dash of humour washed down by drink, Re:Sound welcome us into Schubert’s world - freed from the formality of the concert hall and thrown instead into a personal encounter with the composer’s friendships, loves and losses in revolutionary times.

In a tiny village on the edge of the mountains, a young girl puts on her red shoes and cloak, and heads into the forest alone, watched by unseen eyes. As the shadows lengthen, she begins to run… Now the hunt begins.

This community archaeology project hopes to find remains of the village of Harnham in the medieval period. Volunteers will excavate by hand a number of one-metre square test pits, guided by the results of an earthwork and geophysics survey carried out earlier this year. Each participant will have the opportunity to dig and record what is found. Generating interest in the archaeology of Harnham, this project is part of the 900th anniversary celebration of Harnham’s St George’s Church.

7pm Gabbeh

8.45pm Sunlight, Moonlight, Earth 10.30pm Taste of Cherry

Tickets £8 for each film or £18 for all three

Quite possibly the most eye-poppingly gorgeous film ever made, this sumptuous allegorical tale focuses on an almost extinct nomadic tribe of South Eastern Iran who are famed for their intricately designed Persian “Gabbeh” carpets. An old couple are washing a Gabbeh in a stream. Suddenly, a young woman depicted on the carpet miraculously comes to life and relates a story of forbidden love. The film is a richly textured tapestry of costumes, landscapes, rituals, beliefs, ethnography and oral history that casts a seductive spell.

Sheikh, a mysterious sage-like stranger, arrives unannounced in a quiet rural village. He immediately wins the affections of 7-year-old Narges by saving her horse, but others are more suspicious of him, especially the scheming Malik, who sees him as a rival suitor for Nargis’ recently widowed mother. Little do they know that he is the owner of the land they all depend upon for their livelihood. Ali Ghavitan’s film unfolds as both a wonderfully wise and poetic parable on trust and acceptance and a tender story of friendship between the fatherless Narges and the kind-hearted Sheikh.

Winner of the 1997 Cannes Palme d’Or, Abbas Kiarostami’s haunting masterpiece follows a middleaged man as he drives around the Iranian countryside, patiently searching for someone who will agree to bury him under a cherry tree after he kills himself. Will any of them be able to talk him out of it? As a new day dawns, Kiarostami’s audacious ending invites us to see all that has passed in a new light.

Born in Beirut to British parents, Joly is a columnist for the Independent, and author of a number of books including The Dark Tourist, in which he holidayed in unlikely destinations such as Chernobyl and North Korea, and Scary Monsters and Super Creeps, which saw him cross the globe hunting monsters like the Yeti and Bigfoot. Here Comes the Clown is his latest autobiography.

Members of the Sacconi String Quartet will coach the Sullivan String Quartet, focussing on Dvořák’s String Quartet No 11 on C major Op 61, a work the Sullivan will perform this afternoon (see page 32). Mentored by eminent musicians such as Gabor Takács-Nagy, Levon Chilingirian and Christopher Rowland, the Sacconi’s players dedicate much of their time and energy to education work, regularly leading workshops and giving school and family concerts.

Paul Cobb, Professor of Islamic History at the University of Pennsylvania and a recognised authority on Islam during the Middle Ages, joins us to explore the complicated and fascinating story of the Crusades from a Muslim perspective. In 1099, when the first crusaders arrived triumphant and bloody before the walls of Jerusalem, they carved out a Christian European presence in the Islamic world that remained for centuries. But how did medieval Muslims understand these events and what does the Islamic history of the Crusades look like?

Seven-piece band She’Koyokh brings global music to the Festival from the lands where Europe meets Asia. Comprising a classically trained violinist and clarinettist, a Serbian accordionist, an American mandolin player, a Greek percussionist and a remarkable young Turkish-Kurdish singer, çiğdem Aslan, the group’s music is impressively diverse, with international influences from Turkey, Jewish Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Starting out as a street band in London’s East End, She’Koyokh has since earned international recognition by performing all over the world, and their reputation for energetic live gigs is unparalleled.

Impressionist, comedian, writer and even ballroom dancer, Rory Bremner has recently returned to our TV screens with his new BBC project, Rory Bremner’s Coalition Report.

Since his breakthrough appearance on Wogan in 1985, Rory has won two Baftas and two British Comedy Awards, and tonight he appears in conversation with the Daily Telegraph’s Matthew Stadlen.

Double-bill: Two Turkish Portraits

7pm Time and Winds This ravishingly beautiful film transports us to a timeless Anatolian village. Through the eyes of three teenagers, we observe the ebb and flow of a way of life in tune with the rhythms of nature. But below the idyllic surface lie undercurrents of resentment, particularly towards their parents. Structured to reflect the passage of the sun and Islam’s five daily calls to prayer, the film takes an unflinching look at the unrelenting cycle of life and the loss of childhood innocence. Reha Erdem | Turkey | 2006 | 112 minutes | Certificate 15 | In Turkish with English subtitles

9.15pm Lifelong In Istanbul’s most fashionable neighbourhood, Ela, a 50-year-old conceptual artist, lives with her architect husband in the stylish modern house he has designed. When their daughter leaves for University, it creates a vacuum in their lives that is only intensified when Ela begins to suspect that her husband is having an affair. A perfect marriage of subject and style, this artfully constructed dissection of an imperfect marriage uses striking, meticulously composed imagery to reflect the inner moods of its characters.

Tchaikovsky Fantasy Overture, Romeo and Juliet Dvořák Cello Concerto in B Minor Rimsky-Korsakov Scheherezade

One of Britain’s leading First World War historians, Richard van Emden gives us an entirely fresh, personal and illuminating study of one of the Great War’s biggest catastrophes. Using previously unpublished material and eyewitness accounts of the landings, van Emden shows how the lack of clean water and food and tremendous losses on both sides affected morale, until finally in January 1916, in the best-laid plans of the entire disastrous campaign, the Allies successfully fooled the Turkish forces and evacuated their troops from the peninsula with no additional casualties. Peter Weir’s Gallipoli is screened tonight (see page 49).

The London Philharmonic Orchestra visits our atmospheric cathedral with a bespoke programme that explores the themes of love, lust and tragedy.

Comedian and author Tony Hawks was on holiday with his partner, Fran, in the Far East when he had an epiphany. Waking with a jolt he knew beyond doubt that his time living in London had come to an end. The countryside called. With conviction and no arguing, they upped sticks and began searching for a home with a view across Devon’s rolling hills. This most energetic of TV and radio comedians takes a wry and gently humorous look at how he made a seismic shift in everything from scenery to new fatherhood.

Shlomo is a world record-breaking human beatboxer. He can make all kinds of music using just his mouth and a microphone. Come on a journey with this sonic superhero and become one of his sidekicks. This dynamic world of funny sound effects, brilliant noises and cool music aims to make you smile, whether you’re aged one or 101.

Psychologists believe many of us see odd numbers as male and evens as female; the belief among Asians that the number 4 is unlucky appears self-fulfilling, fatal heart attacks surging among Asian Americans on the fourth of each month; and in any book you pick up, about 50% of its words will appear just once… Let best-selling author and journalist Alex Bellos unleash your inner geek on this journey of mathematical discovery.

With an extensive and award-winning discography on the Harmonia Mundi label, Stile Antico is a British vocal ensemble now established as one of the most original and exciting new voices in its field. This programme takes us back to the religious turmoil of 16th-century England. As persecution of their underground community reached its peak, Catholics turned to metaphor to express their desperation. Jerusalem and the plight of the Israelites were used as a thinly-veiled reference to the community’s suffering

and longing for salvation. Interspersing the motets of the great Catholic composer William Byrd with protestant hymns by his teacher, Thomas Tallis, this programme showcases the rich musical legacy of a turbulent era, presented by candlelight in the ancient splendour of Salisbury Cathedral.

First shown at Imperial War Museum North in 2014, this display of powerful images by award-winning Italian-Syrian photographer, Ibrahim Malla, explores the experiences of Syrian civilians and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent volunteers who are putting their lives on the line in the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis. Malla’s images are accompanied by extracts of volunteer’s personal accounts, revealing what motivates them to stay in this conflict zone and the risks they take. Box Office: 0845 241 9651

Azaz was a small town in northern Syria. Ten days before these drawings were made, and again just a week later, Azaz was subject to some horrific fighting and endless shelling, killing hundreds while thousands of others fled. These drawings were made at a time when the town was just trying to survive: a single bakery was open, the market began to sell things, and the prison

functioned, under the watch of the Free Syrian Army, who held the town then. Artist George Butler drew these pictures to serve as a record of what happened, and in the hope that some justice will follow for those people who have lived through this inexplicably difficult time.

Following a life-changing adventure in the Galápagos Islands, artist Charlotte Moreton draws upon a huge range of media, from wire and pen sketches, sculpture and painting, to bring to life this extraordinary volcanic landscape and the unique beasts that inhabit it. The exhibition includes a life-sized willow portrait of Lonesome George, the last of his species, who reached 5 feet long and 300lbs at his zenith, a welded steel waved albatross with a 2.5m wingspan, wire sketches of Darwin’s finches, and a collection of small bronze sea lions.

Elisabeth Frink’s works on paper are confident and sensitive, some of the most powerful and sublime drawings of the 20th century. These selected drawings, original prints and illustrations, curated by Annette Ratuszniak with Peter Riley, chart the evolution of Frink’s sculptural works as she moves from a modeller to a carver of plaster.

The Salisbury Museum presents an exhibition devoted to J M W Turner’s drawings and paintings of Salisbury Cathedral, the city and surrounding area. Situated directly opposite the Cathedral’s west front, within the Close, the Museum is ideally placed to explore Turner’s relationship with the Salisbury area. This began when the artist was a young man and reveals a formidable talent and ambition from an early age. With loans from around the UK and a substantial loan from the Tate collection, this is a unique opportunity to see Salisbury through Turner’s eyes.
