~ theotherroom ~ Leave a comment

Contraband Live is back for a night of poetry, music and dancing right before the Christmas break!

Poets performing at the event will include: Jennie Cole, Ghazal Mosadeq, Juha Virtanen (book launch!), Ollie Evans – and you!

As before there will be an Open Mic slot, so please bring along anything you might be working on now and would like to read out.

The event takes place at Charterhouse Bar between Barbican and Farringdon, next to Smithfield Market. There will be excellent food available at a reasonable price (the pizzas are particulary good!), a Contraband book-stall, and late-night dancing and music from 11.00 on!

We very much look forward to seeing you there!

‘About that Original Hen’ : A Finnegans Wake Perfumance

A puppet-lecture-performance of Finnegans Wake through scenes of writing between men and women. A graphologist commands a peasant to write. A spiritualist medium guides the hand of a client. An amanuensis transcribes the notes of a blind writer.
A cop cuffs the wrists of a student. A scholar performs Finnegans Wake with an egg.
