Today you can get along to a new multidisciplinary art event on Castle Terrace between 2.00 and 8.00pm.
Space Club: Theatre Uncut is a collaboration of Edinburgh based creatives, coming together to host an exciting multidisciplinary art event at Castle Terrace’s Space Club on Thursday 20th November 2014, 2 – 8pm.
Taking influence from the theatre company Theatre Uncut, an organisation that creates a collection of short plays based on a particular political theme or quote, the event will draw inspiration from this year’s theme of ‘Knowledge is Power, Knowledge is Change.’
Taking stimulus from such words, a variety of artwork, performances and poems will be produced, and featured alongside a collection of plays from the Theatre Uncut organisation. We are presenting three plays from Theatre Uncut’s ‘Knowledge is Power, Knowledge is Change’ project (Reset Everything, Panchamana, Finger of God), and four from their recent collaboration with Tiyatro DOT in Istanbul (Smoke (and Mirrors), Apollo 8844, A Lesson in Lynching, Police State). These texts explore the current state of democracy in Turkey, looking in particular at the Gezi Park protests and inviting the audience to engage and interact with the themes involved.
Speaking about the event, Artistic Coordinator Melanie Phillips said:
“Space Club: Theatre Uncut is inspired by the ethos behind Theatre Uncut, and aims to get people talking, debating and acting within their political communities. The event features original artworks, installations, texts and performances all created in response to the statement ‘Knowledge is power, knowledge is change’ as well as seven texts produced by the Theatre Uncut organisation itself.”
