Angel Cake These Trees Are Made Of BloodAngel Cake
Synopsis:
the world is ending in sixty minutes. As the countdown begins, join Sophie for a final evening of remembering, party games and biscuits. Performance art meets storytelling in this unusual and warmly interactive piece where we pour a cuppa and ask - when push comes to shove, what really matters?
Notes:
Angel Cake is an exciting new collaboration between director Amy Draper, cult cabaret performer Rhyannon Styles and designer ele Slade. Starting its life as a ten-minute work in progress showing at BAC's Freshly Scratched, it was further developed for CPT's Sprint festival in March. Now it returns as a full-length immersive show that hopes to be funny, poignant, surreal and a celebration of all that life throws at us.

Top of PageThese Trees Are Made Of Blood
Synopsis:
And for our next act. . .The Magical Military Junta. . .Will make 30,000 people disappear before your very eyes. During the 70s and 80s, Argentina was locked in a period of state terrorism, with a military dictatorship waging war on suspected left-wing political sympathizers. Thousands of citizens were "disappeared"; seized by the authorities and rarely heard from again. Set in a timeless Buenos Aires cabaret club before, during and after Argentina's Dirty War, These Trees are Made of Blood tells the story of one Mother's search for her daughter. Blending original live music and exciting cabaret acts with an urgent narrative, this is a new piece of political theatre which promises to be an unforgettable audience experience. So come on in. The club's open all hours and history can always be rewritten after one too many.
