Poetry Can F*ck Off
By Heathcote Williams.
Charting the great resistance movements from the Peasants’ Revolt to Occupy Wall Street, over 80 poets are referenced in a 55-minute mind-bending maelstrom - a compendium of the courageous, creative voices who called for change, from Shelley to Ginsberg to Pussy Riot.
Quoting, in quick-fire succession, the lyrics and verse of Jim Morrison, Billie Holiday, Sophie Scholl, Martin Luther King, William Blake, Arundhati Roy, Victor Jara, Gil Scott-Heron, Lupe Fiasco and many others, the event is a celebration of those who have spoken out against tyranny while making our hearts pound.
It will be performed by award-winning performers Roy Hutchins, Sameena Zehra, Selina Nwulu, Jonny Fluffypunk and a host of special guests – and underscored with live, original music from Dr Blue.
