BUZZCUT: DOUBLE THRILLS! presents Ira Brand + more! (BSL)

Oh yes, it’s ON!

Every month in 2016 BUZZCUT are presenting a double bill of performance from wild and provocative artists from Scotland and beyond. Bringing the ethos and spirit of their annual performance festival in Govan, this monthly programme will bring together artists and audiences from various backgrounds to see radical, experimental performance.

Hosted by the BUZZCUT team with their usual chaotic charm and warmth, these events will be a regular opportunity to see experimental performance in Glasgow and hang out in the bar after!

Oh yes, do come!

In June we're doing things a bit differently and hosting a triple wammy of short pieces from local artists. Lucky You!

Andrew Black // Hometown Phallus
Mandy Roberts // Quiff-Tasia
Jak Soroka // Diving Into Dusty

With travelling artist Ira Brand.

All shows are BSL interpreted or do not contain text.

BUZZCUT is a Glasgow based, artist led organisation dedicated to opening up new spaces for performance to happen, bringing new audiences to live art, and creating new opportunities for artists to make and share work.

For more information on the individual programmes, find us on Facebook, Twitter or our website

All the love, BUZZCUT xx

Break Yourself
Ira Brand

“The thing I like about Springsteen is that all his songs are about blue-collar, American, working class, men. You know, men who work on the railroads, and in lumberyards. Real men. I’m not really that kind of guy.”

Meet Ollie. He’s a graphic designer. But he wants to be Bruce.

Break Yourself is a piece about the performance of identity and of gender. Performed in male drag, it is about the relationship between power and desire, the complex landscape of male and female sexual desire, and the desire to be something ‘other’. And it’s about Bruce Springsteen.

It is also an experiment in constructing personas and alternative identities. A risky, dishonest, head-first, whole-hearted, and perhaps lightly desperate attempt to try and be something we have never been before.
