The Cockpit
Music and Words: Darren Berry
Full Price: £15; If you can’t afford it: £5.
A comic opera set in 18th century Paris and a tropical jungle. One’s a fetid swamp, and the other has a lot of crocodiles.
The Marquis De Sade has lost his libido and must find it or lose his head to the chopping block of Marie Antoinette. His quest takes him to a mythical world to petition its Crocodile God of fertility, who is having libido-related problems of his own…
By utilising opera, gospel, puppetry, elixirs, profanity, irreverence and high art with low morals and swashbuckling sword fights, creator Darren Berry weaves an elaborate, engaging, cautionary tale.
The live performance will include a 30 minute interval.
The interactive broadcast will include a Q&A with the creative team, followed by a stage combat workshop.
Age range: 13 upwards
Content Advisory: Strong language and sexual themes throughout, strobe lighting
In a festival of new work, please note that shows can often overrun.
