Details

Currency is a new programme that presents some of the most exciting and creative new works from Europe and the rest of world in a friendly and interactive format to encourage discussion and engagement with artists that challenge their audience to think in new ways. Long Shot - Long shot (noun): an attempt or undertaking that offers much, but in which there is little chance for success. Using circus, handcrafted contraptions and the audience's guidance, PanGottic bring to life one man's belief in the near impossible, the almost unachievable and the highly unlikely. Fingers crossed... Projected - Two characters have emerged from the world of celluloid. Seeing their projected memories realised unearths questions of what is 2D or 3D, fantasy or reality. A collaboration between Anders Duckworth and sound artist Chris Edwards, Projected draws inspiration from our brief relationship with the celluloid image and our ability to understand a string of still images as a real universe. Flaque - In Flaque, Defracto wittily illustrate their passion for juggling, treating it as a rhythmic discipline that flirts with dance and absurd humour. Precise, flexible and virtuosic, they display dazzling vitality. Bodies fall more often than balls do and the aim of catching is the impulse for any move. This is juggling as it should be; challenging, fresh, raw and full of finesse.
