Mayfest: We Are Lightning!
- Artists
- Sam Halmarack, Joseph O’Farrell
You are invited to the final requiem for the last music joint left in town.
Acclaimed Australian artist Joseph O’Farrell (JOF) and Sam Halmarack combine theatre with the fist-pumping euphoria and power ballads of a stadium gig in this darkly comical work that reflects on the importance of communal spaces where people can come together and express themselves.
Trinity is transformed into a music venue on the brink of closure. A teen band, a community choir and ageing rockers join JOF’s drums and Sam’s guitar to mark and protest its demise, leading audiences through a strange ceremony and heartfelt celebration of how music shapes the lives of the people who play it.
Trinity Downstairs, Tue 15 9pm / Wed 16 4pm / Thur 17 9pm / Fri 18 9pm, £17/£13 concs. 65 mins, ages 13+. For more info, visit mayfestbristol.co.uk/shows/we-are-lightning
