New Bond Street, Weymouth, Dt4 8LY
///erase.soap.minds
A unique roving outdoor performance by an inclusive ensemble of playful troublemakers!
The rebellion arrive – full of hope, fiercely comic and on a mission to disrupt the public norm.
You, the audience, join in with the unfurling games which explore power and control. A curious sense of excitement bubbles, uniting the people in a joyful riot of love. TRUTH is a Dadaist take on a brighter future, a gentle call to action, a quiet rebellion.
Continue the fun after the show with a high energy performance of ‘You Can’t Stop the Beat!’ by The Remix, Activate’s inclusive youth performance company.
Presented by Activate Performing Arts.

'State of Alarm' by Mark Anderson and Liam Walsh.
Experience the tunnels, and chambers of the historic High Angle Battery in a new way.
This new visual sound installation by Mark Anderson and Liam Walsh will combine elements of their highly sucessful show Warning Notes, Phantom Field sonic wind synthesisers, and the ghostly dance of the Feather Dervishes.
New work by local poets Peter Cooper and Molly Dunne will be threaded through this sonic landscape as they explore the history of the site, and respond to the world we now find ourselves, living in a state of alarm.
A dynamic and bespoke sculpture, sound and light installation to celebrate the launch of Towns of Culture.
