SUMMARY:Lilith: The Other Side of the Story - Storytelling with Katy Cawkwell
DESCRIPTION:Before Eve\, there was Lilith… \nAn uplifting one-woman storytelling show. An exploration and celebration of female power through the mythological character of Lilith. Shocking\, seductive and entertaining. \nLilith\, the first wife of Adam\, was not prepared to lie down and accept what was given to her. Thrown out of Eden\, she slithered back in to take her revenge and wake Eve up to what her body could do. Viewed as a demon\, worshipped as a goddess\, adored as the Queen of Sheba\, Lilith slips out of the Bible\, reclaims the narrative and is dancing with us still\, forever free. \nKaty Cawkwell\, a performance storyteller at the top of her game\, mixes myth from Arabia\, Ethiopia\, Mesopotamia and Jewish tradition\, with a dash of feminist flavouring and a large dollop of her own wild dreaming.\n“Compelling and gripping” Everything Theatre\nAudience feedback: “Totally captivating.”   “I was spellbound.”   “Brave\, fun and brilliantly told.”   “Staggeringly good.” “Great interweaving of stories from different cultures and perspectives.” “Wow! What a rich\, wonderful evening of entertainment.” \nAge guidance: 16+ \n\n\nEvent Details\nDoors Open at 7:00PM\nFrom 7:30PM to 9:00PM

SUMMARY:They Fell to Earth (A Flight Log)
DESCRIPTION:The Greeks understood a timeless truth: a powerful person’s belief in their superiority often marks the beginning of their downfall. \nThey Fell to Earth {A Flight Log} immerses the audience in an experience that shatters the ordinary\, with visceral movement\, surreal poetic imagery\, slapstick humour\, and live vocal looping. This transformative journey takes you from a mundane world of discarded rubbish to an\nillusory realm of flight. \nStunned in the aftermath of their fall\, this Icarus duo yearns for redemption as they reconstruct their ‘falling story’. The stage\, designed with a DIY aesthetic\, transforms into a garage—latent with possibilities. Through discarded items such as a plank\, hook lamps\, a rope… they reclaim the memories embedded in their bodies. \nWho witnessed their fall—the sky\, the sea\, the sun? They tap into fragmented memories\, emotions\, and sensations\, unknowingly summoning spectres to negotiate a deal. Will they soar once more\, or will they crash down again? Can they resist the heady intoxication of hubris? \nDust Ensemble\, based in Cleeve\, North Somerset\, creates physical theatre that taps into the spectres of our contemporary world. \n\n\nEvent Details\nDoors Open at 7:00PM\nFrom 7:30PM to 9:00PM
