UK premiere in Glasgow of visual theater production 'Souvenir of England' by Marianne Dissard. A tumultuous and densely layered journey through British but also global history, culture, and politics. Held from Friday 7 to Sunday 23 June 2024, the Festival of Rejects (Feed The Hand That Bites You), The Revelator's very own Salon des Refusés, will present the work of artists and collectives whose applications were rejected by @glasgowinternational 2024 Festival (running concurrently).
'Souvenir of England' radically reframes British filmmaker Joanna Hogg's tender coming-of-age story 'The Souvenir, Part 1' as a blunt meditation on England's legacy of wealth and power.
The production features Marianne Dissard's urban photography series of ultra-wealthy Knightsbridge set against a selection of songs including Thatcher-era masterpieces 'Shipbuilding' and 'Ghost Town' re-imagined by my musical director @raphaelmann making extensive use of sounds of metal hitting metal to evoke the docks, shipyards, and steelworks - the labour on which the 'mighty empire' was built.
Free (donations for venue, merch sales for artist remuneration). Limited seating, get there early.
