TERMINAL NEWS

 

We all know that some bad shit is going down with the planet and our safety upon it.  But what is really  going on?  We ask three leading artists, theatre makers and activists what they make of it all.


There will be a café open from about 3 and the performances start at 7.30

And the cost to you, my lovelies is £5.  Sorry it’s not nothing, but action ain’t cheap

Lucy Foster    Oh My Green Soap Box

Leo Murray     Wake Up, Freak Out

“For my Airport audience I will launch a really big campaign. This one will be different from other campaigns. This one will be the one where things really change! This one will make us feel like different people. Or not even like people any more. Like birds, like trees, like the sea, like the mountains”.

With some stuff she found in her bedroom, Lucy Foster will attempt to evoke, by whatever means available, the beautiful white world melting below our feet. She will try not to shout at you, she will try to keep things merry, and hope that it doesn’t all come flooding out.

She will promise you a polar bear on Hampstead Heath, banks that become farms, and a duvet cover that turns into the Arctic. And, of course, she promises to try not to come on to you. 

Leo Murray, animator and Plane Stupid activist is someone you will recognise from Newsnight debates, CNN, and other various places, lucidly conveying the dangers facing us, and refreshingly, solutions we can get behind.  He will screen his new animated film ‘Wake up, freak out’.  Afterwards there will be a short talk, and as we are at the Airport, a little treatsie on the dangers of willy-nilly aviation.  Hope he doesn’t put us out of business.

'The Audience' is a surreal yet personal response to ideas of landscape, what man has made of it,  how we see it now, and where we see it going. It mixes desperation with humour, placing the audience in impossibly varied settings somehow managing to string together as a single 'experience' which may either be a 'show', a lifetime, or the splintered memories of our world seen from some distant future.

And afterwards, why not play Terminal Table Tennis?  Smack a tiny globe around with bats.
