Anagram x We Are Parable present a one night only event at the Rich Mix on 17 October

Join us for an evening of live performance and conversation - with Tatenda Naomi Matsvai, Axel Kacoutie, Kojo Koram and Chris Allen from the Light Surgeons.

From the long tail of the British empire and its impact on our everyday lives now, to the power of rebellion and what happens when people choose or are forced into taking action.

Ghosts of Solid Air explores the ghosts that surround us - and the piece itself asks that you go to Trafalgar Square in person and embark on an audio-led solo journey to Big Ben.

This event will share the spirit of the piece (which is currently available as part of the LFF Expanded programme at the BFI until 22 October) as a one night only live event at the Rich Mix.

Date: Tuesday 17 October, 2023
Time: 19:00
Address: Rich Mix, 35-47 Bethnal Grn Rd, London E1 6LA, UK
