22 November Line Up
Kamila – CK presents The Circle of Everything
An interdisciplinary performance blending live painting, aerial dance, and moving images, this work uses the symbolism of the circle to celebrate the invisible, infinite life force that fuels us all. It also explores the duality of existence—light and shadow, connection vs. separation, higher vs. lower.
Inspired by the artist’s ongoing Enso practice, the performance delves into the iconic Zen circle, symbolizing the cyclical nature of life—birth, life, death, and rebirth. The performative painting created during the show pushes the boundaries of multiple art forms, with vibrant colours applied from above, harnessing the momentum of a spinning aerial hoop to merge deliberate action with the spontaneity of chance.
Boondog Balladeers presents Captain Godfrey and the Last Shanty
Join Captain Godfrey and his motley crew as they adventure across treacherous waters, battle bewitching sirens and learn the art of yodelling to catch fish. Through visual storytelling and original, live and looped music, this family show explores home and the many things we hold close to our hearts.
Open Heart Theatre presents Ducare
Ducare is an A.I. installed into one of the confessional booths of a church on the outskirts of Cambridge. It is her sole duty according to mankind to judge the sins of those around her, give impartial and logical feedback, and help them absolve themselves. Despite her confines, Ducare begins to find herself wanting more than what the world forces her to be. As a performance, Ducare aims to highlight the stereotypes neurodivergent people face, and the abuse they can suffer from institutions and those in authority who both fetishise and admonish people against them.
