Here are some pictures of the set we made for our Glasgow show. Martin Craig of the Market Gallery may supply us with some photographs he took during the show soon, and hopefully we will get to edit a short reel in the weeks to come, too.
I’ve just returned from Glasgow with my colleagues from MOP. We’ve been awfully busy with our latest show, which we have written, designed, composed, built and directed during the last few months. We were sold out for all nine shows, and we were very sad we could not add on more shows – but we are hoping to get a little reel of the show soon. In the meanwhile – here a few pictures of the construction of the show!
The event was funded by the Market Gallery, and WASPS donated their breathtaking home, the Briggait in the old Merchant City of Glasgow, as a performance space. We are very grateful for having been given the opportunity to make this show happen, and we are especially thankful to all those who gave us extra support – most notably Jules Nally of the Arches, and Aimi Gdula at the Market Gallery.
Very excited to be working on new stuff with guitarist Uri Mohilever. Here’s what we’re currently working on, and it’s taking a nice shape:
I thought I should put a few of the songs that I composed for our show The Hunt up here.
Fifth Room -
Being Born -
Pink Life -
Sixth Room -
Idiot Child’s “You’re Not Doing It Right” has scored 4 stars in the Guardian, after being tipped as a show to see by Lyn Gardner - and it has gotten very good reviews in other places, too – hooray! It’s a really brilliant show, and I got to make the music for it so I am extra happy.
We are currently working on the Hunt, an idea conceived by Duygu Oztürk and devised by the whole MOP team – and we are opening on an entire floor of the Ariston Hotel in Thessaloniki, Greece, as part of Symbiosis? – XV Biennale de la Méditerranée. The piece is a visual and sonic journey through the inner world of a heartbroken young woman, and her desire to escape reality.
The Hotel with all its installations on each floor opens on the 7th, and our piece will open one day later, on Saturday the 8th of October. It will run until the 20th. Performances are at 9pm on weekdays, and at 7pm on weekends. Please write to bookingsariston@symbiosis2011.gr to reserve your space – tickets are free but very limited! Report at the reception to check in, and please bring your ID.
Exciting times!
Please check out the blog of our company Multi-Organisational Playground, which I have co-founded with designer, producer and curator Lela Ramoglou and costume designer and performance artist Duygu Oztürk. We will fill this space with many more interesting posts and pictures soon!
