Musicians play live with decrepit dolls, theremins and robots in this eerie entertainment, exploring our fears of the almost human – from golems to ventriloquists’ dummies.
Hot from their sell-out run on the Brighton Festival Fringe, dreamlike musical and mechanical inventors Spacedog join forces with gentleman rapper Professor Elemental, known for his YouTube sensation Cup of Brown Joy, a paean to the pleasures of drinking tea.
Death ballads, unsettling live robotics and tales of the professor’s extreme taxidermy experiments, in a night that will take you to the darkest reaches of your mind.
“One of the most inventive acts playing at the moment”, Melita Dennett
“Eerie, evocative and hilarious – tremendous fun”, Roger Highfield.
“A stand-out moment of psychedelic neo-Victorian rap genius”, Monkey Boxing magazine.
Not suitable for children.
