    Red front door. Gold number 1. Tiny peephole. Take a look around.

    GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN want to open up and let you in. Right in. So you can really get a feeling for what it’s like on the inside. It’s an ‘evening with’ – conversation, songs, shit like that. Someone’s left a passive aggressive note on the kitchen table; it’s about entitlement, property and privacy. Welcome to the show home, everyone. Number 1, The Plaza is a souvenir album from a joyride through extravaganza, cabaret, reality, live art, theatre and filth.

    Co-produced by: PACT Zollverein (Essen), Colchester Arts Centre and Cambridge Junction . Supported by: Arts Council England, wpZimmer (Antwerp), Almeida Theatre (London), The Performance Centre (Falmouth), The Point (Eastleigh), Cambridge Junction, Tom Thumb Theatre (Margate), New Wolsey (Ipswich), Roehampton University (London).

    “Super-smart…and a willingness to push its terms to an extra level…I couldn’t take
    my eyes off it” Matt Trueman, Culture Wars.

    Still House

    Ours was the Fen country

    Thu 13 Mar 8pm Full £10 | Conc £6 | Age 16+

    For the past two years Dan Canham has been capturing conversations with people of the fens in East Anglia. Eel-catchers, horse breeders and young farmers have all been interviewed. In this ethereal piece of documentary dance-theatre Dan and his team fuse movement and sound with the words and memories of their native collaborators to get to the heart of the fens – a beautiful, bleak and mysterious expanse of flat land.

    Ours Was the Fen Country is a celebration of and eulogy to universal stories of rural communities that are fading from view; an exhilarating, poetic look at the inevitability of change from the voices of those who still know the old words.

    Ours Was the Fen Country is a Bristol Old Vic Ferment, New Wolsey and DanceXchange commission. Produced by MAYK.

    “One of the most original talents around” Independent.
