Blind + Chinese Takeaway

Son et Lumière: Blind

9.30pm

"Blind" speaks with lucidity and tenderness about the way our lives collide and how we form each other. This new production sees Son et Lumiere introduce their design-centric aesthetic to explore the text in a more open format: discovering in it some of the ideas buried deep beneath its sparse surface.

"'Blind' occurs in a place away from our knowledge. Here, three people encounter each other in the darkness, reaching toward something they cannot find. They can only touch the web-work of their irrationally but inextricably enmeshed lives. Amid the maelstrom of confused perception, dreams, violence and control there is a strangely beautiful oblivion." Sean McKenna (Dramaturge).

Developed at 21 Wapping Lane; site of Punchdrunk's "Faust".

Lorelai Lai: Chinese Takeaway

10.20pm

A cabaret style routine which starts from inside a giant Chinese takeaway container. "Lorelai Lai" bursts out of the box performing a burlesque of a chinese fan dance to the sounds of Monty Python. The piece ends with Lorelai Lai spinning, dancing and finally suspending on top of a giant golden chopstick.
