This exciting documentary encapsulates
a momentous period in the history of
Russia and the Russian avant-garde,
drawing on the collections of major
Russian institutions, contributions from
contemporary artists, curators and
performers and personal testimony from
the descendants of those involved. It
tells the stories of artists like Chagall,
Kandinsky and Malevich – pioneers who
flourished building a new art for a new
world, only to be broken by implacable authority after 15 short years
and silenced by Stalin’s socialist realism.

Grayson Perry:
Typical Man In A
Dress // 9 Nov
Grayson Perry
is a man. He is
also an awardwinning artist,
BAFTA-winning TV
presenter, Reith
lecturer and bestselling author with traditional masculine traits like the
desire to always be right and to overtake all other cyclists when going
up big hills. So, what is masculinity and what can it become? It might
seem almost redundant in a world facing climate change and vast
imbalances in global wealth, but Grayson Perry sees masculinity as
a highly active component in all the big issues. Alongside the release
of his new book, The Descent of Man, join Grayson for an intelligent
evening of laughs, discussion, insight and costume changes.

Adrian Berry’s acclaimed sell-out
production returns in this tale of
a young David Bowie obsessive.
Martin is a boy with problems – an
illness no one understands and a
head full of sound and vision. So
when an unexpected gift arrives
on his birthday, Martin embarks on
a thrilling journey in the footsteps
of his obsession, leading him to
discover some long-hidden truths
about himself. What follows will change his life forever… Powerful and
touching, music and magic realism collide in this darkly funny and
moving tour-de-force solo show featuring Alex Walton and the voice
of comedian Rob Newman. With a blistering Bowie soundtrack, the
life of the pop fan is dissected in this tale of unnatural teenage wildlife.
This brand new and updated production sold out runs in London,
Edinburgh and Germany.
