(le)Pain @ Jacksons Lane
Feb 21 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Jean Daniel Broussé (JD), the only son of a fourth-generation French baker, will not be following in his ancestors’ footsteps. Having studied Medieval History, Modern Literature and Circus Arts, JD steps away from baking bread, patisserie and cakes.  

After four generations, the family bakery is sold. After four generations, the boulangerie story ends here. 

(le)Pain is about breadmaking, identity, physical heroics and growing up queer in a boulangerie in the south of France. It incorporates circus, dance, storytelling, Béarnaise folklore video, karaoke and laughter. 

Running time: 60 mins, no interval 

Partners: Warwick Arts Centre, Shoreditch Town Hall 

Funders: Arts Council England Lottery Funded, Jerwood Circus Residencies 

Suitable for ages 14+ 

Relativity @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Feb 21 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
In a world where people can break scientific laws just by understanding them, Zadie Sierra works with the government to lock away the rule-breakers: whether it’s thermodynamics, friction or even gravity. But her faith in the system is shaken up when she finds that the next nonconformist to be punished is none other than her scientist sister, Oriana.
Now Zadie must ally with an unlikely bunch of petty criminals: Ocean, a magician who can bend the rules of probability; and Griffin, a dentist with a cavalier attitude to biological laws. Zadie must fight against the system she once upheld, and stop her boss, Fabian Garve MP, from discovering the mysterious ‘Theory of Everything’ that Oriana has been working on.

SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD 

Following a brief five-star run in Southend last year, cult musical SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD comes to Upstairs at the Gatehouse this February for a strictly limited run.

The debut song-cycle from Tony Award® winner Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, Parade, Bridges of Madison County), SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD is an anthology of short stories told through song that takes audiences on a journey, teetering on the edge of one moment that can shape the rest of your life.

Featuring Musical Theatre fan favourites including ‘I’m Not Afraid of Anything’, ‘Stars and the Moon’ and ‘King of the World’, this production of SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD creatively explores the human condition from vastly different New World perspectives, from the deck of a 15th century ship to the window ledge of a modern day high-rise in Manhattan.

Knot @ Jacksons Lane
Feb 22 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Internationally acclaimed circus and dance performers, Nikki Rummer and JD Broussé, use hand-to-hand circus skills to tell the tale of an impossible choice: How can we be honest with ourselves without hurting those we love? Knot is a finely crafted theatrical journey through the struggles of commitment.   

Knot is a modern affair told with delicate sensitivity through breath-taking acrobatics and heart wrenching dance.

Knot is co-commissioned and supported by Jacksons Lane, Déda, Jerwood Choreographic Research Project II, The National Centre for Circus Arts, Arts Council England and Warwick Arts Centre.

Show Pony @ Jacksons Lane
Mar 2 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Do you know what happens when female acrobats hit middle age? still hungry don’t know either, but they’re trying to figure it out. 

Part circus show, part training session, part trip-down-memory lane, Show Pony takes a hard look at life onstage and the gut-wrenching moment when the stage no longer wants you.  

Packed with love, laughter and lunacy, Show Pony is a joyful scream that challenges sexism and ageism, on and off stage.

Mar 3 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
In a world where people can break scientific laws just by understanding them, Zadie Sierra works with the government to lock away the rule-breakers: whether it’s thermodynamics, friction or even gravity. But her faith in the system is shaken up when she finds that the next nonconformist to be punished is none other than her scientist sister, Oriana.
Now Zadie must ally with an unlikely bunch of petty criminals: Ocean, a magician who can bend the rules of probability; and Griffin, a dentist with a cavalier attitude to biological laws. Zadie must fight against the system she once upheld, and stop her boss, Fabian Garve MP, from discovering the mysterious ‘Theory of Everything’ that Oriana has been working on.

In the Dead of the Night @ Jacksons Lane

Will Lily conquer her fears?
Will she conquer her fright?
Will she conquer the ghouls in the dead of the night?

A thrilling, funny, and heart-warming story about an awesome girl called Lily who faces her fears and saves the day.

From the creators of One Duck Down (“A perfect show for kids” ★★★★★ Families Edinburgh) with music by Cat Gisby (Elle & the Pocket Belles), this adaptation of Arthur McBain’s book is full of spooks, songs, silliness, and most of all – monsters!

Faceplant Theatre is a family theatre company whose debut production One Duck Down won the Family Show of the Year 2018 award at that year’s VAULT Festival. It has since toured to venues including the Lyric Hammersmith, Pleasance Courtyard, New Wimbledon Theatre, Aylesbury Waterside, Greenwich Theatre, Turbine Theatre, GLive, Wardrobe Theatre, Canada Water Theatre, Streatham Space Project, and many more including schools and community venues.

Space Junk @ Jacksons Lane
Mar 14 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Inspired by the Cosmos Archeology project at EPFL, Space Junk tells the story of a space suit pushed out into space on an ephemeral orbit of the earth with a radio transmitter, known as SuitSat. A friendship is formed between a life-sized puppeteered space suit and a human, embodied by a dance and aerial artist.

With over 100 million pieces of space junk orbiting the planet, Space Junk is a tale of love, loss, new frontiers, the destructive power of human carelessness and our constructive capacity for hope and compassion.

Please be aware that this a work in progress performance.

In partnership with Jacksons Lane, Norwich Theatre and Exeter Phoenix.

Tongue and Cheek @ Jacksons Lane
Mar 15 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

A night of fresh alternative comedy and circus theatre.

Bristol-based emerging artists bring two new experimental shows with a surreal twist on spectacle with comedy at its core:

Transcendental
Using trapeze and a comical amount of existentialism, Transcendental is a fever dream journey through the absurdity of being alive. A satirical deep dive into grotesque aspects of the human experience.

Hiding in Plain Sight 
Using physical comedy and object manipulation to explore surveillance culture, Hiding in Plain Sight tackles juggling our virtual identities and our authentic selves.

Suitable for ages 12+
