Now 18 - Rated X / Moot Moot

NOW is back. It's a little bit different to before, and it's going to be extraordinary.

It's exceptional artists who they think are making the most exciting and radical performance right now. It's 5 weeks of double bills of explosive new work.

These artists are some of the biggest names in performance and at the top of their game. They can’t wait to share these shows with you.

Tomas Jefanovas and Christopher Brett Bailey - Rated X

Mind-bending sights, electronic sounds, ear-serrating free jazz and machine gun poetry converge in this new collaboration: Rated X.

Tomas Jefanovas pulls futuristic visuals out of retrograde video technologies to sculpt a psychedelic vision of space and time. Christopher Brett Bailey rages and croons. He is an end of days prophet, a lunatic out on a day pass, a jazz poet crash landed from a distant planet.

Tomas’ mesmerising visuals have been seen at Field Day and Houghton Festivals and Christopher’s ‘verbal gymnastics’ celebrated in his extraordinary sell-out This is How We Die (???? The Guardian, Time Out, The Stage). Watch them fuse to create something chaotic and cosmic. A meditation on holes, voids and mirrors. A ritual of high intensity. A sensory overload. A ketamine noir.

Rosana Cade and Eilidh MacAskill - Moot Moot

It’s all about you and your opinions… so get in touch!

Cade and MacAskill take on the roles of doppelgänger radio hosts Barry and Barry, batting banter back and forth in a surreal phone-in talk show. Seeking connection with the world beyond they can only tune into the white noise at the edges of their outer space echo chamber.

MOOT MOOT is a weird and wild trip through never-ending feedback loops; a riotous rhythmic transmission for our times.

Rosana Cade’s powerful immersive Walking-Holding and her autobiographical performance Sister, have toured the country to critical acclaim, as has Eilidh MacAskill’s solo performance piece STUD. They have been performing as a duo for three years in the cult live art riot grrrl boi band Double P*ssy Clit Fuck.

Now they combine forces to create this hilarious new show, with a unique sound world devised by Yas Clarke. See them desperately grasp at meaning in a post-truth world, where all facts are moot.
