English Journey: Re-Imagined

English Journey: Re-Imagined

Work:: English Journey: Re-Imagined (S244694663)


Production:: (T1480574908)

A 21st century happening inspired by J B Priestley s survey of a troubled 1930s England. In this extraordinary concert, readings, performance, music and film intersect, complement and argue. Psychogeographer, writer and film-maker Iain Sinclair, hugely influential graphic novelist Alan Moore (Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From Hell) and legendary English folk singer Shirley Collins join a band of musical mavericks, including FM Einheit (Einst?rzende Neubauten), Susan Stenger (Band Of Susans) and Mute Records Simon Fisher Turner, to cast a fresh light on the past and present of our once again troubled land. The show features highlights from sold out events at Aldeburgh Music in Suffolk and the AV Festival in Newcastle exploring the culture and history of these unique English places. The second half will be a new London-centric summoning under the influence of Sinclair s latest book, Ghost Milk: Calling Time On The Grand Project, as Sinclair brings his unique eye to bear on the Lea Valley area and the Olympics as well as on to the Barbican itself.
