The Crick Crack ClubLove and Death: Performance Storytelling Performed by Xanthe Gresham
One storyteller, two goddesses and a mid-life crisis.This pair of roller-coaster performances teeter between the sharply hilarious and the devastatingly provocative, as Xanthe Gresham performs a double bill of Isis is You Sis and Hecate Tango.Isis is You Sis: If you've ever done online dating, set fire to the curtains burning relics of a recent love, or generally lost your golden lotus, then Isis is You Sis. Combining the comic moments of breaking up and the single slog with a pure rendition of Isis and Osiris, the Egyptian tale of love versus murder, rape and betrayal, Isis is You Sis will cause such a sunrise in your soul you'll just want to get out there, throw your arms towards the dawn and Create Life, Love Life, Desire Life. How can you miss it?Hecate Tango:How do you cure an addiction to sex? How do you crack your soul's pin code? Hecate has the answers. She was chucked off Mount Olympus for refusing to hail Zeus as the one and only. Now she sits in outer space doing cosmic sudoku on our behalf. Combining performance storytelling, poetry and mythology, the energy of the great goddess of blackness and beginnings is brought back onto the dancefloor. Unsuitable for children under 16.See production shots from Isis & Hecate here.
