Mauve New World offers a glimpse of a queer future as imagined by three artists: Emma Adams, Nick Field and Brian Mullin. In a Mauve New World, lesbian robot love may or may not be legal, the UK has deemed Queer to be 'sacred', and you can travel to a virtual Gay-topia to escape real-world oppression. A fantastical, slightly-queer, futuristic night out: all for just a fiver! Midsummer - Written & directed by Nick Field: A performance artist is presenting his newest piece. He explores memories of the vacations of his youth, before he was forced to leave his family to begin arduous religious training. Midsummer imagines a UK where the ancient, indigenous religions were uninterrupted and queer is sacred. A nation in which lifelong spiritual service is compulsory for queer people, and to rebel means exile. It Gets Better - By Brian Mullin: Gay teens are in danger: from bullies, oppressive governments, and their own private demons. But now there's a place where they can get away. Not somewhere over the rainbow - a state-of-the-art virtual world where everyone's all-gay, all the time. Who wouldn't be happy in a place like that?? Freakoid - By Emma Adams: Freakoid is the story of a woman coming to terms with the tricky discovery that her grandparents were a ZX-Spectrum and a Commodore 64. This discovery makes the love she feels for you illegal. So will love find a way?
