FailFailFailFailWin
– in conjunction with Carn 2 Cove 

28 May – 3 pm
at Chyan Cultural Centre 

IMark and Loz are circus performers. But circus is REALLY hard. FailFailFailFailWin! is a show about not hiding all the “try”s you did that failed. Uplifting, nurturing and agelessly relevant.

Join the adventure and explore what happens inside Loz’s brain when she does a big FAIL. Meet a cast of characters on Loz’s quest: the unkillable Rasputin – naughty nudger and negging enthusiast, oh and of course Sven Svenstoferson, Sweden’s greatest astronaut.

Featuring such fails and possibly wins in the mediums of diabolo, juggling, hulahoop, and an attempt to spin 8 real VERDAGEN ikea plates, retail value £2 each. Total economic jeopardy = £16. Plus shipping.

Age guide: great for 3-10 year olds. Unsuitable for specifically 15 year olds that don’t want to come. And we’re strict on that.

Split Ends

17 June – 7.30pm
at the Chyan Cultural Centre

Critically acclaimed tragi-comedy, SPLIT ENDS follows the story of a woman who falls in love with a Vacuum. Using physical theatre, puppetry and multi-media, this ‘Sarah Kane Rave’ explores control and abusive power disguised as love.

The thing about split ends is that as soon as you cut one off, somewhere else on the head, another strand of hair will split. Cut, split, cut split, ad infinitum. Claudia, “a real tour-de-force” (ReviewsHub) is consumed by her split ends until she fell in love with a Vacuum, an actual Vacuum, who happened to be the hairiest thing she’d ever fallen in love with. A thing that made her want to pluck her arm hairs, wax her legs and cut her hair. The Vacuum would shed his hairs, leave, disappear, reappear, shed, tell her he loved her, tell her he lied, leave, shed, appear, shed, malt, love, lie, cheat, shed, shed. Claudia cut hairs, plucked hairs, vacuumed hairs, hunted hairs, waiting for him to pull the plug on what they had because she couldn’t.

In an exploration of coercive control, love and the addiction to people who hurt us, this five star production which is “as raw as they come…sheer inventiveness” (LouReviews) attempts to understand when we are meticulously in control or incredibly out of it.

Age restrictions: 18+

The Scarlet Pimpernel
– Ha Hum Ah Productions

20 June – 7.30pm
at the Chyan Cultural Centre

France is burning, the guillotine is busy, and Marguerite Blakeney is stuck in England with an idiot husband, a man so relentlessly foolish, it’s starting to feel strategic…

However when ruthless revolutionary Chauvelin – head of the French Republic’s Committee of Public Safety, with a very loose grip on the word “safety” – threatens her brother’s life, Marguerite is dragged into a world of spies, secrets and very sharp blades. Will she betray the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel, or let her brother face the guillotine. What do you do when every choice costs you the person you love?

Three actors tear through revolutions, opera houses, seedy Dover pubs and glittering ballrooms using nothing but a mountain of wigs and sheer nerve. Expect quick-fire gags, high-octane multi-rolling in this sharply modern, joyously theatrical retelling of Baroness Orczy’s swashbuckling classic.
