Joshua Clague: At night, I lock the do...

Joshua Clague will perform At night, I lock the doors, where no one else can see, which has been created specially for his exhibition at Bluecoat.

During his performance, the gallery is transformed from a quiet space of contemplation and reflection, into a joyful space in which a carousel of dance routines by Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Janet Jackson are projected into the gallery.

Event

Clague, skilfully re-enacts each of these iconic performances. We’re led to thinking about what fandom means, and how pop culture can shape us. This shaping occurs both mentally and physically, from the perception we have about who we are and where we fit in the world, to the muscle memory of imitating the idols that we love.

Ari Eldjárn: Return of the Icelandic

Iceland’s biggest stand-up comedian (& first-ever Netflix star) returns to the UK following sold out runs at Edinburgh Fringe and Melbourne.

The grandson of a previous president, Ari is the beating heart and unofficial ambassador for a fascinatingly humorous frozen rock called Iceland.

A family man with a unique perspective being locally famous in his own country; having run-ins with Icelandic tabloids, a new relationship and being a father while all the time being a traveling comedian. This former flight attendant’s fast comedy is utterly charming; the coldness of his homeland is in stark contrast to the warmness of his delivery.

Born and raised in Reykjavík, Ari has appeared on Pardon My Icelandic (Netflix), Mock the Week (BBC) and performed with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra.
