BUZZCUT: DOUBLE THRILLS presents Peter McMaster + Figs in Wigs! (BSL)

BUZZCUT carry on the Autumn delights by welcoming Peter McMaster to make a brand new piece, and some our absolute favs Figs in Wigs fresh from their Edinburgh Fringe extravaganza!

Men & Space (a working title)
By Peter McMaster with Craig Manson and Murray Wason

This new performance experiment by Peter McMaster, once again sets its enquiry firmly within the turbulent and politicised context of contemporary masculinity and male privilege.

Working with male bodies en masse and space as material, this work interrogates the ways in which men, of varying identities, choose to ‘take up space’ both literally and metaphorically; as we know, for many this is often an empowered and elitist process, but for those more marginalised this is not always the case.

Through the felt interrogation of being in the theatrical space, these male bodies seek to present the political picture of privilege at large, the myriad of ways in which it is played out, and what, if anything, they can do about it.

FIGS IN WIGS // OFTEN ONSTAGE
BSL Interpreted by Catherine King

Figs in Wigs are often onstage - but how did we get here and how do we leave?

Often Onstage is an offbeat facetious romp that explores the ins and outs of the stage through the medium of dance. With one step forward and two hundred steps back this choreographic exercise in comings and goings plays with a myriad of ways to enter and exit the stage, unearthing dormant anxieties about life choices along the way.

With curtain calls, blood baths and exits pursued by bears, Often Onstage revels in the absurdity of theatrical traditions with the straightest of faces. There’ll be nods to the new, alongside bows to the Bard, as well as an underlying sense of doom that theatre is a dying art form. What if the only thing keeping you going are inspirational quotes and a subsidised income from your side project as a Backstreet Boys tribute act? It’s only a matter of time before we sell out, and we don’t mean tickets…

This event is free to anyone who lives and/or works in Govan. Please contact the BUZZCUT team on glasgowbuzzcut@gmail.com if you'd like to attend through this invitation.
