Viv Albertine – To Throw Away Unopened
- Artists
- Viv Albertine
This event has been cancelled.
From the Festival of Ideas website: “We regret to have to let you know that Viv Albertine is unwell and her event in Bristol has had to be cancelled. We wish her well for a full recovery. Ticket buyers will receive a full refund. Any questions about this, please contact us. We apologise for this cancellation and will of course endeavour to re-arrange an event with Viv at a later date.”
In the follow up to her acclaimed Clothes, Music, Boys, Viv Albertine offers a fearless dissection of one woman’s obsession with the truth – the truth about family, power and her identity as a rebel and an outsider.
To Throw Away Unopened explores human dysfunctionality, the impossibility of true intimacy and the damage wrought upon us by secrets and revelations, siblings and parents. Albertine also examines how we can rebuild ourselves and come to face the world again, giving a portrait of the love stories that constitute a life, often bringing as much pain as joy.
