FILM: Björk Biophilia Live + Beastliness | ICA | 22 Nov
Representing the mid-point of the ICA’s superlative ‘Ada & After: Women Do Science [Fiction]’ weekend of screenings and talks, this two-film itinerary starts off with a showing of Björk’s big, visionary stage movie ‘Biophilia Live’, this paired with a Q&A with Björkian pop contemporaries Leila Moss and Jemma Desai. That’s all followed by a playback of Deborah Kelly’s disorientating and ‘horizonless’ sci-fi animation ‘Beastliness’. Details and tickets here.
MAGIC/COMEDY: Pete Firman – Trickster | Leicester Square Theatre | 22 Nov
Ka-boom! Skilled slight-of-hand tricks and wink-wink physical whimsy mystically combine in this magic display from reliable comic wizard Pete Firman, several of whose secrets are revealed in this interview he did with TW London earlier in the year. Details and tickets here.
