PROGRAMME 2

Programme 2 of The Centre for the Less Good Idea’s 5th Season unpacks, amongst other things, the nature of performance, the language of loss, and the relationship between audience member and performer. Comprising five experimental epics performed back-to-back, Programme 2 traverses the realms of music, physicality, text-based works and more through harnessing the structure of a theatrical epic and condensing it to 11 minutes.
