SUMMARY:Gothic Opera presents: Die Rheinnixen
DESCRIPTION:Unconventional opera company Gothic Opera returns to Battersea Arts Centre this Halloween\, this time with the UK staged premiere of Die Rheinnixen (The Nixies of the Rhine)\, an unjustly neglected\, Romantic work by Jacques Offenbach. \nDie Rheinnixen\, which is Offenbach’s first take on grand opera\, encompasses the growing nationalism of its time\, as well as the genre’s fascination with the supernatural. Gothic Opera is delighted to be staging this horror story for the first time in the UK. \nIn the capable hands of the award-winning international stage director Max Hoehn\, the evocative crumbling architecture of Battersea Arts Centre’s Grand Hall will be transformed into the time of the Weimar Republic\, a period of nationalism and unease. \nIn a bold production that will speak to our current times\, Gothic Opera will be joined by exciting conductor Hannah von Wiehler\, who has a very busy career across Europe. Leon Haxby\, the young composer whose previous work for the company was praised in Opera magazine for its “haunting magic” and “compassionate insight\,” has created a new chamber orchestration of the opera for seven instruments. A cast of talented singers will bring the characters and story to life. \nDie Rheinnixen performance details:\n30th October\, 7.30pm\n31st October\, 7.30pm\n1st November\, 7.30pm\n2nd November\, 5.00pm \nSung in German with English surtitles.

SUMMARY:Dreamer
DESCRIPTION:Dreamer is a semi-autobiographical performance of an urgent witness about three Black women in Arab society.  \n\n\n\nSalama\, Eman and Juliette. Each is a model of possibility\, representing the choices and challenges faced by Black women in the Arab World. They are confronted with the weight of invisibility. They assert themselves. They love\, hurt\, and heal. \n\n\n\nThrough their interconnected lives\, Dreamer reveals what racism\, misogyny and xenophobia look like alongside culture\, faith and joy. It interrogates regional gender and sexual politics\, the friction between modernity and tradition\, and the generational conflicts which shape how black women relate to each other and themselves. \n\n\n\nDreamer reflects a varied\, textured Black experience that has long been silenced and hidden away. \n\n\n\nLead Creative and Performer: Colette Dalal Tchantcho \n\n\n\nDirected by: Lama Amine \n\n\n\nDreamer was created with a team of eight dedicated artists. For some of these artists\, being named publicly as a collaborator in work tackling themes such as colourism\, queerness\, and the politics of Arab Society could impact their future work\, visa status and physical safety. Listing only those who are safe to be named perpetuates the imbalance of visibility that can happen when white Western collaborators are invited to work in an Afro-Arab space. Therefore\, the creative team has collectively chosen not to be listed in print. Colette deeply appreciates them\, their work\, and their dedication. Please keep in mind that work such as this is supported by significant amounts of invisible labour\, both practical and emotional\, and that work does not end once the production is staged.

SUMMARY:Pathogen of War
DESCRIPTION:Shubbak Festival and BAC present the preview of Pathogen of War: An immersive experience exploring a mysterious killer born of war. In 2023\, this pathogen kills between 50\,000-100\,000 people a year.  \n\n\n\nWe’ll take you forward to 2073\, a decade after the Bio-Rift – the moment when all bacteria became resistant to all our antibiotics\, resulting in the deaths of around half the human population. \n\n\n\nThis speculative interactive work combines real science with a possible near future looking at the dangers of antibiotic resistance. As participants\, you’ll become members of the Recovery Administration\, being trained in what caused the Bio-Rift and tasked with ensuring it never happens again. \n\n\n\nIraqi medical anthropologist Dr Omar Dewachi will take you on a journey to understand how Acinetobacter baumannii went from being a relatively benign bacteria to a “perfect killer”\, also known by its US moniker ‘Iraqibacter’ or the ‘invisible enemy’. \n\n\n\nTogether you’ll reveal the many layers of this bacteria’s social history – from the microscopic to the geopolitical\, unearthing how the consequences of war can drive pathogens\, which threaten the viability of antibiotics\, and our health\, globally. \n\n\n\nThis is a preview run of the show in London. \n\n\n\nDirector: Yasmin FeddaExecutive Producer: May Abdalla – AnagramProducer: Dan Davies-Black Leaf Films \n\n\n\nDeveloped with CPH: Lab and at the National Theatre Immersive Storytelling Studio residency.Generously supported by Arts Council England.Supported by Queen Mary University of London.

SUMMARY:Mark Thomas: An Extra Plate - Christmas Comedy Shows in London
DESCRIPTION:Mark Thomas is just about the last person you’d associate with “ho ho ho\, let’s throw a log on the fire and gather around for Christmas.”\nBut. MARK LOVES CHRISTMAS! Christmas singles\, films\, carols\, decorations\, presents\, food and\, most of all\, Christmas stories! \nFrom this most unChristmassy storyteller comes Christmas tales from his life\, time and family. The one where his dad was Father Christmas for the school fete\, the Christmas spent alone\, the dead neighbours\, the broken hearts and the unexpected guests. Mark loves it all\, but most of all\, he loves the stories of giving and sharing\, celebrating and finding hope in the darkest time of year. \nIt’s time to tell of the ghost of radical Christmas past and present. It’s part comedy\, part pathos and an all-out party with more cheer than a Laplander’s eggnog hot tub!

SUMMARY:My Kind of Michael
DESCRIPTION:Nick Cassenbaum has loved Barrymore ever since his Nanna Sylvie bought him ‘Barrymore’s Best Bites’ on VHS when he was seven. Now Nick invites you to share his love\, to examine the turbulent relationship between showman and spectator.  \nMoving between narrative and a Barrymore style game show\, Nick and the audience play TV favourites like ‘Strike It Lucky’ and take part in ‘This is Your Life’. An ever-affable raconteur par excellence\, Nick uses his delightfully amiable\, charming and warm stage presence\, alongside Barrymore’s iconic shticks\, to weave his own personal stories with tales of Barrymore’s rise to fame and ultimate downfall. Join in with Nick to celebrate a light entertainment – and working class – variety icon. With live music and gags-a-plenty My Kind of Michael is?\, well\, Alwight! \nAt his peak Michael Barrymore was one of the most popular and revered performers in the UK. A former Butlin’s Red Coat\, he won TV talent show New Faces in 1975\, earning a six-month West End contract. In the early 1980s he became one of the best-known faces on TV. Shows such as Strike It Lucky and My Kind Of People attracted up to 13 million viewers. His career never recovered from a tragic incident at a party at his house\, despite no charges ever being brought against him\, an unprecedented rise and fall at the peak of his career for such a well-loved personality. \nNick said ‘Michael Barrymore has always been my hero. I believe he really is one of the best entertainers this country has produced and he has been a big influence on my career and style. I think he is the perfect example of an entertainer who truly loved the audience that loved him. Yet that audience was incited to turn their backs on him by the media. I can see parallels in his life and mine and I wanted to explore that\, but basically…I want people to love him again and celebrate some lovely 80s and 90s nostalgia with me!’ \n“I loved it!” Claire Sweeney \nNick Cassenbaum is a storyteller\, street performer and theatre maker. His theatre work has always focused on the way we interact with places and spaces and what that can tell us about ourselves.
