Why were some parts of the UK set alight in 2011, whilst many others were left untouched? Who is present at a riot? If the actions are 'mindless', what's in the mind? Three performers use text and torchlight and to unpick the presumed causes of civil unrest.
Based on the work of leading crowd and social psychologists Professor Stephen Reicher, Dr Clifford Stott, How to Start a Riot seeks answers to questions ignored in the post-riot political rhetoric - rhetoric which has remained remarkably similar for centuries.
Left a roll of film after his grandfather’s death, a man searches for meaning through the photographs inside. He discovers a surreal world of childhood and memory, where fragments of a half-remembered war invade the present-day calm.
Accompanied by a live musical score, critically acclaimed Rhum and Clay tell an unforgettable tale using movement, stunning imagery and absurdist humour.
Shutterland is a landscape of recorded voices and lost stories.
When a secret is discovered it reveals a hidden past. Through a strange and unexpected turn of events one man finds himself running from the system he spent his life serving. Surveillance agents prowl the streets. Every move is monitored. Every sound is recorded. This is Shutterland, where futures are decided and pasts are forgotten.
With a blend of absurdist humour and innovative physical theatre, Lecoq-trained Rhum and Clay present their Edinburgh smash hit.

You do?! Then this foul feast of flesh-creeping fear may be just your cup of (poisoned) tea.
Oh, I do hope you can come... I am just DYING to meet you!
Your host in horror,
Aleister Grudge
P.S: No scaredy cats please. Only for BRAVE children.
