I OF THE TORNADO by Anayis N. Der Hakopian
On what seems to be a peaceful rested day, the voice of a forming tornado rises to spin it out of shape in disturbed, hurt, chaotic turns.
CAREFUL! by Daniella Finch
Maggie is old. We’re not exactly sure how old, but old enough to have fucked Albert Einstein. We join Maggie as she wakes up on the morning of her son’s 60th birthday and watch her bake the same cake she bakes him every year. Maggie delves into her colourful past and reminisces about her outrageous life. Only, her memory isn’t quite what it used to be.
AFFIRMATION by Josh Invain
Leicester Square New Comedian semi finalist, Soho Labs alumni and Olly Miller Award Nominee Josh Invain presents the work in progress of their show Affirmation. An Alternative Comedy immersive experience that’s somewhere between an intervention and an existential crisis. For Fans of: Cult Stuff in all of its guises.
SOCK PARTY by Marta Fossati and Tom Bass
Tom and Marta arrive at a sock-themed party. They didn’t expect to meet. Marta is bold, and Tom doesn’t know how to have a conversation with anyone, but they end up understanding each other more than they could’ve anticipated. In a colourful expression of drama, clowning, original music and stop motion, Sock Party is a playful journey through love and connection, asking how as adults we manage to create new friends, celebrate and play.
We cannout guarantee that the show will be suitable for children, so best to assume that it won't be.
