£12 (£8 concs.)
By Howard Barker. A Spade / A Cup and Saucer / A Medal / A Pair of Shoes
/ A Rattle / A Camera / A Ring / A Painting / A Pair of Spectacles / A
Postcard / A Bucket / A Drum / An Urn. 13 objects. Ordinary. Everyday.
But what if one was capable of inspiring tears? Or a great passion? Even
a war? Even the simplest object can invoke disturbing memories and extreme
feelings. In Howard Barker’s intriguing new play, powerful poetic
language, provocative ideas and rich, dark humour build a compelling picture
of the secret lives of everyday objects. Applauded all over Europe for
his controversial exploration of the extremes of human behaviour, Howard
Barker's pungent poetic language overflows with exhilarating ideas, beauty,
violence and dark comedy.

This is a story about blackness, what it is to be black in Britain today,
and what it was to be black and enslaved in the 1800s. Working with traditional
dances and historical text, woven with rap, street dance and new harmonies,
the Lyric Step Up Company have created a performance that follows the
journey of a Black British brother and sister into their family's past.

Stories from the Floor by Damian Llambias
CARPET TALES is part of a series of works exploring the relationship between
subject matter and artform in the depiction of people and their environments.
This crosses the traditions of the allegorical tapestry and Constable's
portraits with the minimalism of the modern day monochrome and the materialism
of works by artists such as Gordon Mata Clark and Carl Andre. Llambias'
work ranges from soundscapes and museum display to architectural invention
and photography.
