The Measure of All Things Sat 23 May, 7:30pm Sun 24 May, 4:00pm & 7:30pm Tickets: £15 [£10 Festival Standby] Post-Show Discussion: After Sunday 4:00pm performance
A new live cinema performance by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Sam Green [The Weather Underground] with acclaimed chamber group yMusic. Loosely inspired by the Guinness Book of Records, Green weaves together a series of poetic portraits of recordholding people, places and things: the tallest man, the oldest living thing, the woman with the longest fingernails... The Measure Of All Things is a poignant meditation on the mysteries of existence, our search for meaning, and the beauty and tragedy of human folly.
Claire Cunningham:
Give Me A Reason To Live
Tue 19 & Wed 20 May, 7:30pm
This solo performance by one of the UK’s foremost artists is inspired by the medieval Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch and the role of beggars and cripples in his work. Through a series of tests, it explores religion, religious art and how we judge the body. Stark yet humane, Give Me A Reason To Live is a live memorial to the estimated 70,000 disabled victims of the Nazi’s Aktion T4 program, and today’s disabled victims of the UK government’s ‘welfare reform’.
Tickets: £15 [£10 Festival Standby] Post-Show Discussion: With Ali Smith & Claire Cunningham, after Tuesday performance.
