PROGRAMME 1

Tension, synchronicity, chaos, prophecy, and more take centre stage for Programme 1 of The Centre for the Less Good Idea’s 5th Season. Comprising five experimental epics performed back-to-back, Programme 1 traversed the realms of music, physicality, text-based works and more through harnessing the structure of a theatrical epic and condensing it to 11 minutes.
