FESTIVAL ECHOES ARE BACK FOR ANOTHER SEASON
Our Festival Echoes programme returns for another six months in 2020. From mid May to mid November we are commissioning six artists to create something experimental and fresh which can be viewed on-line. Each artist will work for one month and present their finished work of art at the start of the following month. The artists have been invited to try new things, new ways of working, new types of art, including performance, film, photography, dance... so long as it can be seen by the public.
Heroicus Rex'Heroicus Rex - The King of all the Heroes' is the first film by Martin Gooding, created entirely in quarantine with only a phone, a laptop and a big pile of cardboard. The film is a lighthearted exploration of the ever evolving theme of heroism in these strange and difficult times.
Martin Gooding is a theater maker, poet and purveyor of high quality nonsense. To be presented the first week in June 2020.
