I will be bringing Elsie Treacle, the well-upholstered music hall turn to the Mind Your Head Art Cabaret hosted by Hot Snakes Night Club at TACO gallery.
As part of Hot Snakes Night Club (22 August - 13 September) Mind Your Head Art Cabaret returns to Thamesmead with Out of the Rubble, a surreal evening of humour, weirdness and pastiche with live art collaborations, music and site-specific occurrences that consider the perpetual demolition/rebuild of the area, as well as a wider sense of rebirth and recovery in difficult times. Always remember to…Mind Yooooour Heeeead!
Mind Your Head compere’s Spruce Monkscyth (Calum F Kerr) & M’Lie-dee (Caroline Gregory) present a range of performers including Eva Lis and Robert Sookhan as Flying Carpets, Thamesmead’s luscious, lascivious and all-around lovely lady, Letti O’Burn accompanied by Sunnyboy Tyson, performance artists Maryam Sandjari Hashemi, Sarah Doyle, duo Sparkes Thompson, and musical social commentators, the Receipt, All Free!
Mind Your Head Art Cabaret is staged within The Hotsnakes Night Club, an immersive installation and performance space by artist Chloe Langlois. Co-curated by TACO! and Dinosaur Kilby, the club hosts a diverse programme of cabaret, live artist performance, workshops, and experimental music from invited artists and guests. Drawing on aesthetics of ‘social’ performance traditions such as clowning, folk rituals, stand-up comedy, vaudeville, and the occult, Langlois has transformed TACO! Into an artist nightclub complete with an artist-themed cocktail bar.
