Sara Pascoe – I Am A Strange Gloop

Emporium Curioso 2

Tucked away on a quiet little street, away from all the hustle and the bustle, sits a little shop. It’s coming up to Christmas, so you’d think that there’d be lots of customers this morning, but it’s unusually quiet. Maybe it’s all the snow!

Our shopkeepers are keeping the place clean and tidy. They are making sure that the decorations look pretty, and they’re remembering how popular the shop used to be. There are so many memories here.

The Last Supper

Food, farewells, religion, transition – Brazilian artist collective MEXA present The Last Supper, a performance-banquet.

MEXA was formed in 2015 following episodes of gender-based violence in homeless shelters in São Paulo. The group has lost members along the way; some current members think they too might soon be gone.

The Last Supper is a feast of melancholy and joy. Life and art merge; theatre and the street meet; autobiography intertwines with religious references.
