Big Bang is CPT’s regular scratch night: an explosion of performance from which new universes of theatre may one day emerge. These jam-packed platforms are highlights of any CPT season: the place to see wild and wonderful new projects take their first steps.This month's event features artists from our Seed Commission scheme.
Each bill features three or four artists or companies performing 15-20 minutes of fresh-from-the-rehearsal-room work-in-development. They’re doing so because they want to know what works and what doesn’t, and they’d love you to tell them. So please join us for – and share your thoughts on – these exclusive previews of tomorrow’s most exciting theatre, today…
Joining us on 24th September are:
A dance solo performance that walks the audience through the 'gate of grief', a ceremonial telling of the experience of sudden bereavement.
Age guidance: 16+. Health and content warnings: Themes of grief and sudden bereavement, smoke/fog/haze. Access features: Relaxed performance, audiences will be given printed cards with the text of the show.
Puppet master of chaos, Sammy Trotman is back and foaming at the mouth with a ferocious desire to write the sexiest f*cking show anyone has ever seen. A depraved (but undeniably fit) exploration of the line between sex and disgust, and a critique of the way all art gone before conflates the two, Is This Sexy? will edge you in ways you didn't know had edges and make Saltburn look like Escape To The Country.
Age guidance: 18+. Health & content warnings: Nudity, sexual references, swearing & body horror. Flashing lights, loud noises, food/drinks consumed on stage.
Realms moves through portals of daily life and lore, following a queer witch living with a progressive disease as they explore ritual, grief, and identity in this magic realism performance.
Age guidance: 17+. Health & content warnings: Smoke/fog/haze. Burning incense or herbs on stage. Themes of death, suicidal ideation, and ableism (that the performer has experienced).
"Welcoming, friendly, the best bits of London in a cool venue."
