Akhe’s famous end-of-civilisation cabaret is a unique club night, with live DJ music.
‘Akhe blows the audience's mood sky-high with a series of explosive sub-scientific cookery experiments involving apples, bananas, lemons, onions, garlic, vodka, yoghurt, meths, burning fuses, exploding lightbulbs, blazing fireworks, strangely reimagined parts of their own bodies and a can of Red Bull; they also paint a giant primitive self-portrait on the wall behind the stage, to be auctioned later.
The point about all this is that every second of it is presented with such flair, irony and perfect timing - plus a fabulous junkyard look, with rusty props hanging on strings overhead - that it emerges as that rarest of theatrical events, a hilarious piece of slapstick and disco anarchy that also seems to mean something in poetic and political terms.’ The Scotsman
Akhe also performs Faust.2360 Words at the ICA Sat 17 to Wed 21 Jan 8pm
