Currency Festival (5 - 15 November 2014)
‘Wonderful, interesting and risky work’
Taking in dance, fetish and role-play, contemporary circus, absurd spectacle, beer drinking, flamenco and rock music, each night of the Currency festival includes a double-bill in the theatre, Blind Dates between UK based artists, a series of free talks and Hunt & Darton’s pop-up interactive café, where food meets art. Currency brings the best and most bonkers performance from across Europe to the stage for a full-on four days.
Provocative, playful, experimental and subversive the third edition of Currency is co-presented by The Place and Crying Out Loud in partnership with the European Commission Representation in the UK and supported by EUNIC London with the help of Institut Français du Royaume-Uni. The programme is suitable for ages 16 and over as some performances include naked bodies, strong language and references of a sexual nature. The festival is anything but vanilla.
Representing France, Spain, Germany, UK, Finland, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, the participating artists are unified by their attitude to finding new ways of telling stories, breaking free from convention and using movement and performance as their primary means to comment on process, politics, culture and society.
