Algorhythm – A Devised Digital Theatre Festival

Details of a Hurricane

Directed by Jessy Roberts

Born from clusters of storms, hurricanes are unpredictable. But like most natural disasters, they serve a higher purpose – to keep the earth’s temperature stable.

In Details of a Hurricane real people examine their relationship to the Earth and The Universe, and explore their own personal hurricanes: what it’s like standing in the eye of them as everything happens around you, how they shape us, and what happens next. This short verbatim think-piece is an exploration of destruction, hindsight and hope. Details of a Hurricane can be enjoyed as a film, or simply as an audio piece. We recommend listening while going on a walk, whilst doing the washing up, or sitting with a cup of tea, and letting the piece wash over you.

Details of a Hurricane premieres 9 March at 7pm.

BANKSY: A Portrait of Bristol

Devised by Michael Drake, Katie Dorman, Eliza Smith

Directed by Imy Wyatt Corner

Designed by Cat Fuller

‘Remember – it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission’ – Banksy

A new Banksy mural has appeared in Bristol. What does this mean? Can it help us to reveal Banksy’s true identity? Has the great elusive street artist returned to his hometown? A local (amateur) news channel investigates…

It’s 2016 and a Banksy has appeared on a wall in Bridge Farm Primary School, much to the delight of primary school teacher and avid Banksy fan Miss McNally. A documentary crew have arrived to interview residents in the hope of discovering Banksy’s true identity. Some claim to have met or seen the mysterious artist, some are more tenuously linked to the event, but all are affected by the new painting.

Shot on iPhones, BANKSY, A Portrait of Bristol, is a heartwarming comedy about art, community and the man behind the spray can.

BANKSY, A Portrait of Bristol premieres 5 March at 8.30pm.
