Death becomes her: A Brief List Of Everyone Who Died @finborough

Image
For a natural process, death is not a topic that comes up naturally for people. We ask how people are doing but expect the response to be “I’m great”, not “I’m not dead yet”. And so for the main character in A Brief List of Everyone Who Died, Graciela has a death issue. Starting with when she was five and found out only after the matter that her parents had her beloved dog euthanised. So Graciela decides that nobody she loves will die from then on. And so this piece becomes a fruitless attempt at how she spends her life trying to avoid death while it is all around her. It’s currently having its world premiere  at the Finborough Theatre . As the play title suggests, it is a brief list of life moments where death and life intervene for the main character, from the passing of relatives, cancer, suicides, accidents and the loss of parents. Playwright Jacob Marx Rice plots the critical moments of the lives of these characters through their passing or the passing of those around them. Howeve

Previews: Posters, pens and headphones @theotherartfair


Non Zero One are presenting a work at The Other Art Fair from 15th – 18th October.  They will be performing  Untitled (audio with pen) which is an audio-based piece.

Participants are told nothing of what they are going to do. Instead are asked when queuing for the fair whether they are curious...

They are then drawn slowly in, until it is too late to turn back, having to continually question how far they want to involve themselves and being encouraged to go beyond the traditional weird stuff set for both theatre and art fairs.

Hmmmm sounds like being a writer for theatre and the arts in the social media scene…


Anyway the Other Art Fair is celebrating its tenth edition this year and it will also be welcoming back Tracey Emin as a guest artist. Emin International will be launching two new limited edition prints (50 each) along with an exclusive poster (500 of them) available for £50, offering anyone the chance to own something and get it hand signed by the artist. One suspects crowd control and mass hysteria might also be part of the artistic experience there.

There will be 130 artists from around the world represented at the fair and it runs from 15-18 October at the Old Truman Brewery.
