Vic Llewellyn, Kid Carpet

Asking questions about art, who it’s for and what mark it leaves on the world, this playful and uplifting show intertwines personal anecdotes from Vic Llewellyn, Kid Carpet’s unique brand of punky electronic music, and tales of people from around the world who have created extraordinary art just for the pleasure of it.

Using as its starting point a castle on a remote headland just outside the village of Ramsvika in Norway, which was built by over the period of five years unbeknownst to anyone, The Castle Builder explores outsider artists and the joy of creating. Each performance will feature a different maker, who at the end of the show will present the audience with something they build or create using the debris from the show and anything else they find scattered around the stage.

The Castle Builder celebrates visionaries who were laughed at and remembered by few or went unnoticed, and all artists to whom ‘impossible’ is just a word.
