Psychodermabrasion @ Jacksons Lane
Feb 10 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Have you ever seen someone buried alive in makeup?

You can see this man has scars. But they’re so far below the top layer, it would take an industrial sandblaster to even them out. And it’s easier to trowel on a few more inches of concealer.

Psychodermabrasion is a red raw tragicomedy about damage done beneath the skin. Live action fuses with recorded sound and projected image to create an offbeat musical monologue. Honest, audacious and bleakly comic, this is a show for anyone who looks in the mirror and can’t.

The eagerly-anticipated début from actor and musician Matthew Floyd Jones(Frisky & Mannish), in association with cult performance artist Dickie Beau.

Hitch! – Mary Bijou Cabaret @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 25 @ 8:00 pm – 9:15 pm

For the closing night of this year’s festival prepare for a thrilling adventure into the dark, twisted world of Alfred Hitchcock.

Walking a thin line between hilarity and horror, Hitch! was created by a troupe of international circus and cabaret artists, veterans of NoFit State Circus and the underground live art scene of London.

The audience is terrorised and tantalised as bizarre acts delve into the extraordinary mind of ‘The Master of Suspense’.

Basically, we’re seeing off the festival with a huge, peculiar, slightly terrifying but definitely awesome circus cabaret. Hang around afterwards for a late bar, cocktail concoctions and some post-show performances to die for…

Iain Lee v Radio @ Jacksons Lane
Oct 8 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Award winning radio and TV presenter Iain Lee picks some of the most hilarious moments from the history of the wireless.

Why did Nicky Campbell drop himself in it when talking about foxes? What do callers to local radio REALLY think about Mayor Boris Johnson and surely old lady professors know what you can and what you most definitely can’t say on the radio?

Despite appearing on radio (Five Live, Radio 4, XFM, BBC 3 Counties) and TV (The 11 O’Clock Show, This Morning, Big Brothers Bit On The Side) for over fifteen years, this is Iain’s first solo show. Should be a right old laugh.

CONSTRUCTS: Katie Hare / Callum Hill / Ellie Power @ LUX
Sep 30 @ 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm
CONSTRUCTS: Katie Hare / Callum Hill / Ellie Power @ LUX | London | England | United Kingdom

CONSTRUCTS is the inaugural exhibition at LUX’s new home in Waterlow Park, in Highgate. It marks LUX’s return to Camden, where its predecessor organisation, the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative, was based for more than three decades.

Curated by Matt Carter, the exhibition features work by three emerging London-based artists who graduated this year: Katie Hare (MFA Goldsmiths), Callum Hill (MA RCA), and Ellie Power (BA Wimbledon). Their work spans across HD video, CGI, gaming networks, installation, animation, found footage and 16mm film, with each artist’s diverse practice engaging with and utilising moving image in its many forms today. The works presented in this exhibition interrogate the constructs of the mediums themselves, the latent power they might hold, and examine their relationships to individual and collective cultural constructs.

CONSTRUCTS continues the partnership initiated in 2014 between Art Licks Weekend and LUX for the Moving Image programme of the festival.
