Dance & Physical Music ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 27 Jan: Ashes, Guitar Multiverse, Listen To The Reed – Rumi Through Words and Music
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 20 January 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Ashes | Jacksons Lane | 27-29 Jan (pictured)
Another fab-looking offering on as part of this year’s London International Mime Festival, this one presented by Plexus Polaire and inspired by the true events detailed in best selling Norwegian novel ‘Before I Burn’. It’s about a a village targeted by an arsonist in a month long campaign of fire-starting, and features life sized puppets and video projection. See the venue website here for more info.
Guitar Multiverse | Vault Festival | 27 Jan
Declan Zapala performed this show up at the Edinburgh Festival this summer, where our appreciative reviewer handed it five stars, and it’s not the first time we’ve seen and adored his work. And it’s not just we TW folk who love him, he’s generated a great deal of critical acclaim from other quarters, and also won the Adelaide Fringe Weekly Award for Best Music Show. Only one night, though, don’t miss it, especially if you are an aficionado of the guitar! See the Vault Festival website here for details.
Listen to the Reed: Rumi Through Words and Music | Tara Theatre | 27 Jan
“13th century Sufi mystic, Jalal al-din Rumi, has a message for all of us. In ‘Listen to the Reed’ we go in search of that message through both his achingly beautiful poetry and music from East and West for oud, oboe and cello”. Sounds a-amazing. And this performance from Ismena Collective at the new Tara Theatre is only on once, too, so, oh, I don’t know, use your time-turner again to see both. Head this way to book.
