YOUR SEXTS ARE SHIT: OLDER BETTER LETTERS - WILLIAMS COLLEGE

I’m off to the US again!

Feb 22nd and 23rd at Williams College, Massachusetts

Before sexts there were hand-written letters. And loads of them were proper filthy. With the help of the internet, friends and two sexologists, Rachel has unearthed missives dating back centuries. Triangulating these sex and love letters of long dead artists with contemporary sexts and a meditation on the construction of the queer female body, the show is a tender and surprising hour that asks – how do we write ourselves and for whom?

Come! Take pleasure in James Joyce’s passion for arse, find out who sneaked her gay lover into the White House, hear from Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe, Mozart and bear witness to the best/worst sexts ever sent.

YOUR SEXTS ARE SHIT: OLDER BETTER LETTERS - LONDON LIBRARY

Hullo folks! Your Sexts is back in London for a one night only post-Valentine intervention.

And it’s BSL Interpreted by the brilliant Sue Maclaine.

7.30 pm 15th FEB at THE LONDON LIBRARY.

TICKETS HERE

Here is Sue with a BSL Intro to the show below: Hello, I am a sign language interpreter.  My name is Sue MacLaine. I interpret for performance, not just standing on the side of the stage but interactively. There is a performance, full of funny, called “Your Sexts Are Shit”.  Sexts are messages sent to girlfriend, boyfriend or anyone that has sexual content, are making suggestions to people that you want to connect with.  In the past people wrote letters and the performance contrasts letters written by Mozart, the composer, James Joyce famous Irish author and the female artist Frida Kahlo along with others.  There is comparison of the historical letters and modern Sexts of today.  The performance is really funny, cheeky, rude with strong sexual content. The performance takes place in London, at a place called London Library.  It is on February 15th starting 7.30pm. The London Library is located in St James Square.  Hope you can come and see myself and Rachel Mars playing about on stage together.

FORGE - MAYFEST BRISTOL

FORGE is coming to Bristol - Unit 15, Sussex Street BS2 0RA

In 2014 the 100kg iron 'welcome' gate was stolen from Dachau concentration camp. A local blacksmith forged a replica. It was exactly like the original. Almost.

Over three days artist Rachel Mars invites you to bear witness as she welds together another copy of the gate accompanied by Bristol-based sound artist Dinah Mullen who creates a live sound-scape in conversation with the action.

This impactful performance installation asks questions about memorials and provides a space to think about who is controlling narratives of past atrocities. An act of repetition and repair, FORGE asks what it is to preserve a site of collective trauma.

Tickets are priced on a Pay What You Can basis, with a minimum price of £1 and a recommended price of £12.

Gaping Hole (Story #3)

Gaping Hole (Story #3)

A new show by Greg Wohead and myself at Ovalhouse, London.

In the Shawshank Redemption, wrongly convicted Andy Dufresne spends years digging a tunnel to freedom from his prison cell. He hides his work under a large picture of Rita Hayworth. On the day of his escape, Andy crawls his way towards the outside world and perfectly replaces the poster on the wall to mask his escape route. We’re so emotionally satisfied when Andy rips off his prison uniform in the rain that we forget to ask how he could possibly have replaced the poster from inside the tunnel. 

But how *could* he possibly have replaced the poster from inside the tunnel?

What holes are we prepared to overlook in order to stay comfortable?

Following our cult hit Story #1, Gaping Hole (Story #3) is the third part in a non-linear trilogy about radical narrative.
