An early work in progress for a production in autumn 2003, the team are looking at how to integrate object manipulation, physical/visual comedy and writing, and working towards a surreal black farce that gets to the heart of the emotional extremities and identity crises involved in being a Mum – her attempts to fulfil her promise, change the world and above all finish baking the cake.

Mon 13-Wed 15 Jan 8pm £12 (£9 concs)

A2, a pair of darkly glamorous women with a gleam of real madness in their eyes, employs the spirited talents of senior citizen, Jean Morgan, to explore the concept of Time and Waste as we increasingly revere what is best, fast, new and young. Through a series of emotional and thought provoking sequences involving a tree branch, microwave oven, teabags and a roll of clingfilm, our feelings and fears at being part of modern society come under the microscope. A2 creates fantastical images that linger long in the memory. A2 is Alit Kreiz and Anton Mirto. Their previous show, Miss, did it hurt when you fell down from heaven? was performed in The Place's annual Resolution season and they have appeared in Simon Beaufroy's film, Everyone's Happy, at the London Film Festival.

'When the door to the cellar was open I would go to any lengths to avoid passing in front of the black hole. Pulling on a sweater was a nightmare; when my head was hidden, as if blinded, I feared that anything might happen to me'. Michel Polac
Driven by her childhood fear of the dark comes a remarkable new piece of visual theatre from Belgian performer, Nicole Mossoux, and director Patrick Bonté. Regular contributors to LIMF during the past decade, their productions, including the internationally acclaimed Twin Houses, have been among the Festival's most memorable and talked about shows.
At the crossroads of dance and theatre, Light! confronts real and imagined fears. A gripping journey through darkness and shadow to the furthest reaches of your imagination.
'Spoken text and explicable gestures could not begin to define the nebulous sensibilities that this show brings into focus.It nudges at the very beingness of being, If this is the way mime is going, then three cheers'. Independent on Sunday (Twin Houses)

33 Fainting Spells USA
Dirty Work
ICA
Fri 24-Sun 26 Jan (Fri & Sat 8pm, Sun 6pm) £12 (£9 concs)
booking details

Three women career through a shifting kaleidoscope of mad, anecdotal happenings, culminating in a robbery at a luncheonette. 'Smart, complex, slyly hilarious, altogether different with a vengeance' said the New York Times, 33 Fainting Spells are Seattle performance artists Dayna and Gaelen Hanson (no relation) and Peggy Piacenza. Their work has been commissioned and presented in America's leading contemporary arts venues including Dance Theatre Workshop, New York, The Wooster Group's Performing Garage in SoHo, and at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in Massachusetts.
Dirty Work is inspired by sources ranging from Chekhov and Ingmar Bergman to Roger Whittaker's New World in the Morning. Through a filter of outdated low-fidelity media kit including school issue record players and projection equipment, the trio navigates a series of quirky, surrealist zones in which the act of performance teeters at a perilous junction between the sacred and the profane.
'33 Fainting Spells has its finger on the cultural zeitgeist...even more deliciously odd than I had hoped'. Village Voice

booking details

Opening the 2003 Festival, three dynamic Swiss performers catch the spirit of the moment with this unique and stylish mix of circus, dance and club music. In a stunning decor of Bauhaus simplicity, a series of hinged doors transform into a labyrinth of different rooms and spaces, conjuring a sliding jigsaw show of surreal, segemented images. Inhabiting this Kafkaesque, architectural fantasy, two engaging characters try to co-exist. Perched high above them, a deejay with six turntables spins and mixes, controlling events like a puppet master.
The performers are Martin Zimmermann from the French National Circus School and Josef Nadj's Cri du Cameleon company, former Bejart Ballet principal, Gregor Metzger, and club deejay/composer, Dimitri de Perrot. Witty, sharp and entertaining, Gopf integrates diverse techniques and aesthetics from the performers three different worlds, to create an imaginative, new performance language.

Two women meet
Their paths are changed
Their fate is set
And a life less ordinary is about to begin
Following the outstanding success of Shoot Me in the Heart and I Can't Wake Up, Told by an Idiot returns with its new show, A Little Fantasy.
Set in a world where seeing is not necessarily believing, A Little Fantasy tells the story of two women existing outside the law and living on their wits. People naturally fall under their spell. Escaping is a different matter entirely!
Meanwhile, a love triangle continues apace. As these two stories collide, a sublime mix of taut drama, wild comedy and alarming images is released.
Originally conceived as part of the 2001 London International Mime Festival, and now inspired by the short stories of Flannery O'Connor, A Little Fantasy comprises an outstanding company of performers led by Told by an Idiot's co-founder Hayley Carmichael (Time Out Award Best Actress); and collaborator Lisa Hammond (Told by an Idiot's Shoot me in the Heart, Graeae). Over the past ten years, Told by an Idiot has established a national an international reputation for its unique theatrical style, where the line between comedy and tragedy has never been finer.
