Label Group\, titled ‘Untie the ropes’. This song empowers freedom and being yourself with no fear. So it will be the anchor song that marks the beginning of the collaboration between KOMRAUS and CEAR. Funds from the single\, merch and event will go directly to CEAR.\nAlbum to be released in Jan 2019 after a successful year of London headlines shows and International touring. \nMore info on:\nhttp://www.komraus.com \nHome \n \nGUEST ACTS:\nLili Caseley:\nHailing from North London\, Lili Caseley is a multi-talented singer and songwriter who’s winning the hearts of fans and critics alike with her meaningful soul pop about lovers and experiences\, past and present. Her songs\, deceptively simple in structure but teeming with emotional honesty\, are influenced by her Portuguese heritage\, legendary poets and the biggest pop talents of today.\nYet to release her debut EP\, she’s already won support from respected music titles like Clash and Notion\, while receiving coveted airplay from Radio 1xtra’s Toddla T on Target’s show and Radio 6’s Tom Robinson\, on his BBC Introducing mixtape show.\nhttp://www.lilicaseley.com \nUmbrela Collective Djs will also perform on the night. Artists from different cultures\, languages and backgrounds from around the world\, who aim to spread ideas of globalis\, open-mindness and all types of art.\nDjs: Crowse\, Go by Luck and Vladimir Kusijanovic. \nWWW.WEAREUMBRELA.COM \nMore details on the full line up soon. \nThis will be a FREE event and all donations will be directly passed to CEAR. The non-for profit organization that is doing a remarkable work for the last 40 years in Spain\, that has been welcoming refugees for over years. \nDoors will open at 7 pm. \nKOMRAUS organises the event ‘Untie the ropes’ helping to raise awareness and funds for the LGBT Refugees. 6th of Nov at The Victoria\, Dalston. In collaboration with MARS Label Group from The Netherlands\, CEAR (Spanish Commission Helping Refugees) and Jaguarshoes collective in London.\nUntie the ropes is also the title of the new KOMRAUS song and music video that will be out from the 2nd and 6th of Nov respectively. Untie the ropes is a song about personal growth\, freedom and self-respect. With this song KOMRAUS wants to remind us all that we are free to choose what we want to be. That’s the reason why they support with this song all the brave ones that are living complicated situations as refugees: the LGBT refugees.\nKOMRAUS is a band formed in London by European successful professional musicians that with their next single feel the urge to raise awareness about the refugees situation and in particular the LGBT refugees. KOMRAUS members were all somehow migrants themselves when they first arrived in London many years ago and now they feel again the uncertainty\, like many others\, of Brexit. Sara Rioja\, the singer and one of the composers of the band\, is originally Spanish; Spain is one the countries welcoming more refugees in the last 30 years\, so the band decided to start a collaboration with one of the biggest not for profit organizations in this subject: CEAR. Over 350\,000 people have been attended and helped by CEAR in the last 10 years. The non- for-profit organization has been working for 40 years in awareness\, education\, social integration and international human rights. ‘Untie the ropes’ and KOMRAUS will be a bridge to communicate in other territories the job that CEAR (the Spanish Commission helping refugee’s) does and in particular for the LGBT community. All funds from the single\, merch and concerts will be directed to CEAR.\nThe song was recorded Live in one take (as all the other songs in the upcoming album) at Andy Whitmore Studios in West London (Lemar\, Eternal\, Elton John). The band keeps the magic and communication of the live performance in this unique recording.\nThe empowering music-video of Untie the ropes will see the light on the 6th of November\, coinciding with the headline show that KOMRAUS organizes at The Victoria in London to raise funds for CEAR (Spanish Commission Helping refugees) and for the LGBT Refugees. The music video follows the aesthetic of previous KOMRAUS music videos\, always directed by the talented Pedro Caxade\, who has worked before for Channel 4\, Sky TV and in a film with the likes of Aidan Gillen. He has shaped the magical visual world of KOMRAUS in their brand image and music videos. The new video will be another sign of the well looked after artistic and musical work of the band.

Therefore\, the authors have decided to create a spatial opera in the dark\, focussing on the expansion of possibilities offered by the acoustic surroundings. The Christian idea of the seven deadly sins serves as the basis for the libretto. \nThe seven parts of the “Confessions” are concerned with the seven cardinal sins – lust\, gluttony\, greed\, sloth\, wrath\, envy\, pride. “Confessions” combines diverse ideas of creative experiments cherished by the authors for a long time: performance of music in the dark\, incorporation of other human senses (smell\, touch) along with alleged complete removal of the visual aspect. However\, in the opera\, the latter is in fact the most activated factor in the listener’s imagination – through abstract audio images and concrete pre-recorded sounds that produce strong imagery linked to feelings\, sensations or objects. \nIn 2016\, opera “Confessions” was awarded the Golden Stage Cross for the best music\, along with the Musical Nail of The Year award of the Lithuanian Composer’s Union. The opera was performed in various concert halls and theatres and at different festivals in Lithuania\, Sweden\, Germany and the Netherlands. \nConcept and composition – Spatial Opera Company: Jens Hedman (Sweden)\, Rūta Vitkauskaitė (Lithuania / UK)\, Åsa Nordgren (Sweden)\nPerformers: Åsa Nordgren (soprano\, soundobjects)\, Rūta Vitkauskaitė (violin\, soundobjects)\, Jens Hedman (electronics\, soundobjects)\nProducer OPEROMANIJA URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/spatial-opera-in-the-dark-confessions/2018-12-13/2/ LOCATION:Round Chapel\, 1D Glenarm Rd\, London\, London\, E5 0LY CATEGORIES:Arts,Entertainment,Live Music,Performing Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/2018-12-13_Confessions_POSTER.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="OPEROMANIJA":MAILTO:noa@noa.lt GEO:51.552716;-0.0499132 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Round Chapel 1D Glenarm Rd London London E5 0LY;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1D Glenarm Rd\, London:geo:-0.0499132,51.552716 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20181216T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20181216T173000 DTSTAMP:20181121T140008Z CREATED:20181121T140008Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181121T140008Z UID:30050743-1544972400-1544981400@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:Edible Cinema: The Red Shoes DESCRIPTION:Edible Cinema is a creative initiative organised by renowned unsual event specialist\, Polly Betton\, in partnership with experimental chefs Blanch & Shock\, and mixologists from Conker Spirit and Fentimans for this very special screening. Turning a night at the cinema into a\nmemorable event\, Edible Cinema has been described by Vogue as ‘gastronomic theatre’ and ‘the ultimate marriage of film and food’ by Time Out. \nThe experience promises to harness the power of taste\, smell and texture to enhance the cinematic experience. Each guest is supplied with a tray of numbered ‘mystery boxes’ \, containing a bite-sized tasting menu corresponding to scenes in the film\, and a carefully matched welcome drink. A signal indicates what should be opened and enjoyed\, when. \nExpect ‘a gastronomic whirlwind\, from the taste of that first breath of fresh sea air on the French Riviera to a mouthful of fluffy\, soft Prima Ballerina’s tutu and the rich\, smoky bitterness of a cigar stubbed out in fury’. Edible Cinema menus focus less on literal interpretations of food shown on screen\, and more on environment\, dialogue and the overall feeling.

Period instruments are used to underlie the unique style of Spanish music resulting from its combination of Christian\, Muslim and Jewish cultures. \nThe feast of Christmas was marked in Renaissance Spain by large processions and long and elaborate pieces of choral music\, sometimes consisting of a single melodic line rather than the carols and hymns of later periods. \nThe performance will resemble a celebration at court\, with sacred songs to highlight the season as well as the more popular songs of love\, rivalry and mischief common throughout the year.

Through their mesmerizing songs they attempt to honour the struggles and oppression of indigenous peoples around the world\, and see their music as part of the Palestinian people’s effort for recognition. The three brothers form a trio\, a rare thing in oud music\, and it’s through the oud\, or Arabic lute which they have become one. \nTheir new record The Long March is a landmark for the band\, continuing to combine musical worlds with collaborations from Roger Waters and poet Mahmoud Darwish.

Slávek Horák\, Czech Republic 2020\, English subtitlesCast: Viktor Dvořák\, Anna Geislerová\, Martin Hofmann\, Barbora Seidlová \n\n\n\nHavel\, up close and personal: such is the new biopic by director Slávek Horák of the critically esteemed Home Care. Focusing on the period 1968 – 1989 and Havel´s personal life\, Horák explores Havel´s metamorphosis from internationally celebrated but persecuted playwright to banned and jailed human rights defender and finally to president of Czechoslovakia. But it is his relationship with his first wife Olga\, suffering from her husband’s infidelities\, that is at the centre of the story. Situations from his life such as the secret police witnessing his failed attempt to resolve a love tringle in a restaurant mirror his absurdist plays\, provide humour and emotion while Horák’s imaginative use of actual theatre settings to stage key moments from Havel’s confrontations with communist power document his public persona. An excellent cast including Viktor Dvořák capturing Havel’s moments of uncertainty and weakness\, and Anna Geislerová as direct and decisive Olga\, complement a portrayal depicting not an icon but a flawed man who steps out of his comfort zone to become politically engaged. Watch out for news footage from Havel’s life under the end credits including the Rolling Stones in Prague castle. \n\n\n\nNominated for The Czech Lions 2020 Best Actress\, Best Actor\, Best Screenplay and the Czech Film Critics Awards. \n\n\n\n“It is the personal life that helps the viewer to experience the story. Because few people can identify with being jailed or fighting against the Communists\, as Havel did. But everybody can identify with a marital crisis or relationship problems\, which Havel – like all of us – had with Olga.” Slávek Horák \n\n\n\nThe film will be available to rent (from UK only) for £6.99 from 10:00 on Sunday 1 November GMT till 10:00 on Wednesday 4 November 2020 GMT on Czech Centre Vimeo on Demand via https://vimeo.com/ondemand/havel \n\n\n\nBONUS: Q&A WITH DIRECTOR SLÁVEK HORÁK \n\n\n\nOrganised by the Czech Centre as part of Made in Prague ON/OFF Festival.

Beyonce or Nicki Minaj TOWIE or MIC? Or what about a superpower? From pubs through to twitter\, the debate on who or what is the G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time) in their field happens up and down the land\, and now Strongbow ULTRA will settle the debate once and for all. \nFor centuries young men and women have debated the issues of politics\, philosophy\, science and high-brow culture but now Strongbow ULTRA Dark Fruit\, who has self-proclaimed to be the G.O.A.T cider\, brings a fresh new look to the traditional debating societies. Celebs\, influencers and stars of social media are set to go head-to-head to settle the scores in a full immersive\, furry\, hazy goatscape. \nWith opinions exchanged\, loyalties on the line and fandom in full effect\, the G.O.A.T debates will pit debating adversaries head-to-head to show their wit\, sass and knowledge on their nominated G.O.A.T topic – covering everything from football and pop to chicken shop. \nThe line-up includes Chelsea vs Essex as Mark Francis Vandelli of Made in Chelsea takes on Bobby Norris of TOWIE to make the G.O.A.T case for their respective series. Lady Leshurr will be taking on Manrika to debate the G.O.A.T female artist while Crystal Will See You Now and special guest Drag Queen will be unleashed to debate who is the G.O.A.T Drag queen…out of themselves. \nAlice Levine\, co-creator of the G.O.A.T podcast\, will be hosting and keeping order to each debate. The vibrant conversations will consist of individual contests putting their case and responses across 3 x 1-minute rounds per debate against their opponent. \nWhen a debate is completed\, the winner will be determined by a ‘show of cans’ as the spectators vote for their winning debater by raising their can of Strongbow ULTRA Dark Fruit in the air. \nHost Alice Levine said\, “We all love a good debate\, but with so many powerful personalities putting their passions on the line\, it will need someone to keep them all in line! So when Strongbow ULTRA asked me to chair the evening I jumped at the opportunity to come to work exclusively to tell people to pipe down – something I’ve only been doing as a hobby until now.” \nMark Francis Vandelli said\, “When it comes to the G.O.A.T reality show\, it comes down to everything from class to the clothes as well as the drama. Therefore\, it has to be Made in Chelsea. At least one thing Bobby Norris and I can agree on is that we’re both a cut above the Kardashians!” \nRapper Lady Leshurr said\, “Manrika is bringing her Bey game with her\, but I’m here to go against the grain for my girl Nicki Minaj the G.O.A.T female artist and you really don’t want to disagree with me.” \nLove Island star Chris Hughes\, who will be debating against a special guest\, chipped in\, “The G.O.A.T football debate has been raging between fanboys of Lionel and Cristiano for over a decade\, but I intend to settle it once and for all. It’s obviously my man from Argentina. No contest.” \nThe G.O.A.T debates are being held at Shoreditch Studios in East London with a ticketed audience of 300 guests. The event will also feature DJ Sammy Virji who features on the new Strongbow ULTRA ad and will be DJing throughout the evening. For one night only event goers will experience a fully immersive goat future scape\, think ice sculptures\, a goat daddy\, epic projections and purple goat selfie spots throughout the venue. \nAfter one hell of a performance by their favourite celebrities\, guests will be able to decide the fate of who and what can be crowned the greatest of all time! \nThe running order of G.O.A.T for the night is as follows: \nThe G.O.A.T Footballer: Chris Hughes vs special guest \nThe G.O.A.T Drag Queen: Crystal Will See You Now vs special guest Drag Queen \nThe G.O.A.T Chicken Shop: Rachel Spicer vs Theo Campbell \nThe G.O.A.T Female Artist: Lady Leshurr vs Manrika \nThe G.O.A.T REALITY TV Series: Bobby Norris (TOWIE) vs Mark Francis Vandelli (Made in Chelsea) \nG.O.A.T Superpower: Josh Berry vs special guest comedian \n  \nHEINEKEN UK Cider Brand Director\, Rachel Holms\, comments: “This G.O.A.T campaign is for a new kind of cider and by far one of our most intriguing yet\, and we can’t wait for our celebrity cast to settle the debate once and for all. We already know Strongbow ULTRA is the G.O.A.T cider\, but now we put some of the greatest argued topics of all time in the hands of celebs and event goers.” URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/the-g-o-a-t-debating-society-is-coming-to-london-for-one-night-only/ LOCATION:Shoreditch Studios\, 37 Bateman's Row\, London\, EC2A 3HH CATEGORIES:Debates,Entertainment,Events in London,Free Events,Pop Up,Shows ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/STRONGBOW-ULTRA-G.O.A.T.-Debating-Society-Lock-Up-FINAL.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Strongbow":MAILTO:strongbowultra@thisiscow.com GEO:51.5252755;-0.0790078 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Shoreditch Studios 37 Bateman's Row London EC2A 3HH;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=37 Bateman's Row:geo:-0.0790078,51.5252755 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20220610T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20220610T233000 DTSTAMP:20220512T094728Z CREATED:20220512T094725Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220512T094728Z UID:30059442-1654887600-1654903800@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:Book Launch party for Apple: Sex\, Drugs\, Motherhood and the Recovery of the Feminine DESCRIPTION:The official launch party for Antonella Gambotto-Burke’s groundbreaking new book\, Apple: Sex\, Drugs\, Motherhood and the Recovery of the Feminine.

The exhibition is in conjunction with Refugee Week. We have also organised a series of interactive events that will complement the exhibition\, including two workshops\, one artist-led tour of the exhibition\, one live panel and one webinar.\n. \n\n\n\nAbout The Exhibition\n\n\n\n\nLitehouse Gallery is honoured to present Velvet Society\, an exhibition displaying the creative acts of survival in fashion and fabric of two Syrian women\, civil engineer Raghad Mardini and artist Heba Al-Akkad. The 90s fashion collection of Mardini\, emanating from the wealthy and powerful class of the self-styled “velvet society” prominent in 90s Syria\, will be juxtaposed with a range of vibrant artworks made in fabric and fibre by Heba Al-Akkad. A powerful dialogue will be established between these collections\, to expose a Damascus of the 90s dominated by complexes of glamour and power\, at once joyful yet troubled\, wielded both by and against the women in question.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition centres itself around the stories of these two Syrian Muslim women. From differing backgrounds\, they\, as refugees from the Syrian uprising\, struck up a friendship founded on a mutual interest in creativity within visual arts. Viewers will bear witness to their testimonies of liberation from religious and patriarchal violence. Photographs\, art objects and items of fashion are displayed to invigorate a commentary on feminism\, female freedom and Syrian history\, linked by the medium of textiles.\n\n\n\n\n\nProf. Janis Jefferies\, Emeritus Professor at Goldsmiths University\, has explained the salience of clothes in this exhibition:\n\n\n\n\nClothing carries powerful signs of non-verbal communication. It covers us\, it represents individual identities that can be played with\, disrupted and challenge what we do in our everyday lives\, both physically and sexually. If we are displaced or exiled from our homes or driven out by war\, what we wear changes. In this exhibition we see how two Muslim women become friends. They connect through art\, through their different relationship with material; a veil is worn\, designer labels are displayed. Photographs act as documents; new objects are made.\n\n\n\n\nBy bringing these stories to UK audiences in a seductive yet forceful exhibition\, fashion devotees and art lovers alike will explore the political nature of clothing\, how it shapes the representation of women in fashion\, society and art. Beliefs about Middle Eastern women will be challenged and a broader and richer recent Syrian history will emerge.\n\n\n\n\n\nHeba Al-Akkad was born in Damascus in 1981. She graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Damascus University 2006. She now lives and works in Gothenburg\, Sweden\, where she has been able to escape the cycle of familial violence and abuse that she suffered since girlhood. She has had solo shows across Europe and the Middle East. Litehouse Gallery has commissioned work from Al-Akkad on themes of self-identity and dress.\n\n\n\n\n\nRaghad Mardini\, on the other hand\, found herself inducted into the “velvet society”\, a figurative term for a class involved in high business and power in Syria during the 90s. Photographs from Mardini’s archive will give visual evidence of the velvet society\, which\, after many years of negotiating its excesses and its alienating demands\, she finally decided to reject. These photographs will be shown alongside a fashion collection supplied by western designers including Dior\, Versace\, Mugler\, Chanel\, Galliano\, YSL\, Alaia as well as Syrian designer Nicola Khoury\, all of which Mardini wore during her time within the velvet society. The exhibition will not just highlight the vibrancy of those times and the relentless glamour demanded in the velvet society\, but will look deeper into how female sexuality was weaponised in the game of politics and money.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is an exhibition about how\, in 90s Damascus\, fabric dazzled\, lured\, sheltered\, bound\, concealed\, and\, as time wore on\, changed.\n\n.\n\n\n\n\nProgramme of Events\n\n\n\n\nAlongside the exhibition\, we are organising a series of events ranging from workshops and live panels. Like the exhibition\, these events are completely free to attend and require pre-booking.

Many Syrian artists who had fled to Lebanon were unable to continue their practice due to trauma and financial hardship. At ARA\, for a month\, they had bed\, board\, space\, freedom\, and all the materials needed to enable them to make art again. ARA also curated exhibitions and performances worldwide.\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nEmail info@litehousegallery.co.uk\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite www.litehousegallery.co.uk\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline Shop www.litehousegalleryshop.co.uk/\n\n\n\n\n\nPhone +44 7833 700 984\n\n.\n\n\n\n\n\nQuick-links www.linktr.ee/litehousegallery\n\n\n\n\n\nInstagram www.instagram.com/litehousegallery\n\n\n\n\n\nFacebook www.facebook.com/litehousegallery\n\n\n\n\n\nTwitter www.twitter.com/Litehousegalery\n\n.\n\n\n\n\nExhibition Information\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nExhibition\n\n\n\n\n\nVelvet Society – المجتمع المخملي: Power and Glamour in 90s Damascus\n\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLitehouse Gallery\n\n\n\n\n\nwww.litehousegallery.co.uk\n\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\nP21 Gallery (Kings Cross)\n\n\n\n\n\n21-27 Chalton Street\, London NW1 1JD\, UK\n\n\n\n\n\nwww.p21.gallery\n\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nDates\n\n\n\n\n\n23rd June – 23rd July\n\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nOpening Hours\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, Thursday & Friday: 12 – 6pm\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday: 12 – 8pm\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday: 12 – 4pm\n\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nEntry is free. No appointment necessary.

A musical about climate change DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to celebrate Lewisham’s Borough of Culture in 2022 with our most original show to date – a brand new musical about Climate Change. \nIt’s 50 years in the future\, and in a society ravaged by the effects of Climate Change\, two tribes are warring\nover limited resources. The Heart Tribe live off the land and worship the sun\, while the Eye Tribe\, live by the sea\nand worship the power of water. Perhaps they can find a way to work together – build a time machine – and\nwarn their ancestors of the world that awaits them unless Climate Change can be stopped…? \nThis highly entertaining – and thought provoking – show is a fast-moving\, musical extravaganza\, featuring\namazing designs\, original songs\, audience participation and lots of surprises. In these troubled times\, we\nbelieve it will send a message of hope – and change!
