Marvin Gaye Chetwynd, The King Must Die, 2015
Known for her deliberately shambolic and lo-fi performances, Marvin Gaye Chetwynd’s new work The King Must Die explores the ancient Greek cult of the Mother Goddess, immersing us in an intense and supremely pagan celebration of feminity and female power.
The performance will require some audience participation as you get drawn into Marvin's strange and wonderful world.

SING SIGN: a close duet, photo by Robin Gillanders, 2015
SING SIGN: a close duet is an intimate performance devised for the closes of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Composed by Hanna Tuulikki, and performed with Daniel Padden, the work combines music and gestures drawn from British Sign Language to reflect on how our experience of the city is inseparable from the the languages that we speak.
