The next best thing to love itself this Valentines day
|
The Alexanders |
Emma Robertson |
During the night Live art presented as a series of cabaret acts will parade across the stage mixed with video screenings and unusual musical numbers. Meanwhile the audience will sit around at candle lit tables in a thematically decorated environment including paintings by Dan Kenedy Martin, drawings from Kate Lydden and a slide show by Eva Stenram.
On Stage Holly Pester will determine the truth behind steaming men. Using boiled hearts, marshmallows and a spit sharing jar of whiskey, Dan Monks will demonstrate the correct procedure for falling over, off stage or out of love safely with the aid of Balloons.
Projected between the performances will be several video and animated works from Lilli Hartmann, Ray Murphy, Solomon Rogburg and others covering the whole spectrum of styles but each looking at some aspect of romance.
And if you can't find love I the auditorium why not try a temporary solution? A fakely eternal token of love from the fountain pens at Hannah Metcalfe and Co's fake Tattoo parlor perhaps or a maybe cup of tea and a marble from Emma Robertson's tea trolley.
Feeding the evening's guests with musical al la cart will be Zoë Darling with her dad and Manchester's train obsessive Middle Class Bastards. Elsewhere, the bar will be filled with the music of The Alexanders, a cross between the winners of the BBC's Young Musician of the Year and a friendly firebomb at a local circus.
To keep the night swinging, compare Clive 'Live on Tape' Langford will be joined by house band From Honey to Ashes (pleasuring The Meatsweats.)
