Redux
Residency
imitating
the dog
In
1968 The Night of the Living Dead, George Romero’s classic
horror film, was released. It became a classic of the zombie
genre, watched by millions worldwide and has spawned countless
imitations and spin-offs.
50
years later, a group of intrepid Bradford/Yorkshire
theatre-makers attempt to remake scenes from the film,
shot-for-shot in real time, before your eyes. They’ve had a
week to plan and knock together some props, costumes, wigs and
basic scenery, using what they could find. They expect to fail
spectacularly.
Following
a residency with acclaimed digital theatre company imitating
the dog, using the original film as source material, the
participants become actors, directors, camera operators,
prop-makers and set designers. And, of course, zombies.

Food
for Thought - Displace Yourself Theatre
If we really are what we eat, what does that say about who we
are today?
Join
Displace Yourself Theatre in a feast for the senses and tastes
from around the world in this new show that asks who is winning
(and losing) in the game to get food onto our plates and into
our bellies.
With
mouth-watering music and visuals, and a sprinkling of tangy
humour this is a fresh bite into what we think we know about
the food industry in the UK and overseas. From farmer to
factory, land to laboratory and grower to grazer we meet a host
of characters from the food chain whose lives are ruled and
fuelled by what is munched every day.
Food
For Thought has been made through research and collaboration
with people from across the world.
Show
Running time Approx. 60 minutes
Pre
Show activities: 30 minutes (starting at 7pm)
(join
us before the show for a creative response to the show made by
local people from our Creating Together project)
Post
Show Discussion: 20 minutes
Total
event running time = 1hr 50 mins
