Today we recommend the Cinderella Project: Lucien which sees brilliant Brighton artist Jake Spicer work with Sabotage theatre in "a combination of gripping audio drama, an interactive, site specific experience and the opportunity to witness live painting in an intimate and engaging setting."
"Imprisoned deep inside the industrial corridors of New England House is the Alchemist Painter, Lucien Yemie. A restricted number of spectators will be allowed to enter his chamber, listen to the stories ingrained in the art, and watch the painter at work.
This is the first in a series of Art/Theatre collaborative events entitled 'The Cinderella Project' discussing the nature of art, love and mortality. The Project seeks to bring together unique and challenging combinations of artistes to create original and unconventional work. Zöe Hinks, Artistic Director and Playwright for Sabotage Theatre Company, has followed the work of established painter and printmaker Jake Spicer since last June. They have been working together symbiotically to evolve a new way of exploring art and narrative.
The Project has spawned a love child; the mysterious and revolutionary Lucien Yemie. Lucien will be embodied by Jake Spicer, who will be painting live throughout the performance."
We're been interested in Jake Spicer's life drawing classes in Brighton for a while (more to come on these in future!) and he's been shortlisted for the AOH Best Artist Award in 2008 and won Fringe Report Artist of the Year in 2009. This year, working with Zöe Hinks, Artistic Director and Playwright for Sabotage Theatre Company, the exploration of art and narrative should be great. There's lots of good reviews:
“Sabotage Theatre are a young company worth your attention and Zoe Hinks is clearly a writer worth watching.” ****Fringe Review on last year’s production of Ravens.
"This captivating play manages to make us question the meaning of longing and the abilities of love to overcome obstacles" ****British Theatre Guide on ‘What all the Rabbits are Doing’
“From the haunting, relective. and mesmeric Portrait With Sewing machine to the silent mysterious In a Room With no door to his eloquent sketches: Jake Spicer creates worlds of mystery and delight.” John Park Editor of Fringe Report on Jake Spicer’s Exhibition ‘Living in The House With No Door’
