Dumb Show
Poet, sound artist and light manipulator pick at the incomplete meanings of modern
life
The Coffee House, Aberdeen [Map]
Admission by donation
Building on last year's Nightmare show the boys have developed their sound
and poetry performance as well as asking fellow artist Anton Beaver to do a dedicated
light performance to augment the show.
The work itself explores the strangeness of modern life — touching upon themes
such as online dating, mummification, identity and tattoos. It is dark, humorous
and questioning.
