Them!

The Audience. The Host. The Guest. The Band. The Ants. On the set of a live TV chat show, the host interviews the guest, the film rolls, and the band plays. People and power and pop music. We’re here to get to the heart of the matter but everything keeps on changing, including time, space, and the audience. Them! is a visionary new performance event from Stewart Laing and Pamela Carter exploring identity in a changing world. Can we ever really change who we are? Or, if change is inevitable, then what are we so scared of? With live music from Glasgow Indie-Pop Queen Carla J. Easton, a film starring Eugene Kelly (The Vaselines), Moulin Rouge actor Kiruna Stamell, Beats actor Ross Mann, and 150,000 live leafcutter ants, Them! will take you on a journey of changing identities and spaces, using Tramway to full effect.

Purposeless Movements

“What’s so great about purposeful movement? Half the fun in this life is not knowing what’s coming next.” Four guys wait on stage. Each one has cerebral palsy - the way they stand and move is a dead giveaway. When we were born doctors called it Purposeless Movements - for us it’s just how we get around. You’ll see stories from our lives, stories that ask what it is to move and be moved. Purposeless Movements is a new theatre work from Birds of Paradise Theatre Company by Robert Softley, creator of international smash hit show If These Spasms Could Speak and co-creator of the hilarious Wendy Hoose.
