Jewellery, legal succession, family trees, care for the elderly, gas receipts … just a few of the topics that come to the fore when fathers and daughters lay their relationships bare.

Taking to the stage with their real dads, the award-winning German performance collective She She Pop shines a spotlight on the absurdly complex dynamics between generations. 
Shakespeare’s King Lear serves as a backdrop, ingeniously propelling the dialogue of an audacious show in which the modern realities of ageing, inheritance and parenthood are confronted head-on.

Integrating filming, personal testimony, big band covers, Shakespearean readings and light-hearted dance, Testament’s frank yet tender approach brings about tears and laughter.

This recording is the post show discussion held at The Barbican in London on the 4th June 2014 after a performance that was part of LIFT2014.

Dmitry Krymov is one of Russia’s most influential theatre directors, the creator of visually majestic, moving yet witty experiences.

Opus No.7 places its audience on the stage, tantalisingly close to the action of a genre-defying double bill. The oppression of Soviet Jews and the censorship of Shostakovich under Stalin are depicted through larger-than-life puppets, duelling pianos, living walls and blizzards of newsprint; epic images conjured up from the simplest of materials.

This is mouth-watering theatre on a grand scale and LIFT is thrilled to be bringing Krymov and his collaborators to London.

This is the post-show talk with the director Dmitry Krymov conducted by Michael Boyd at The Barbican on the 5th June 2014 as part of LIFT2014.

LIFT returns to artsdepot with a brand-new work by Japan’s most exciting theatre director, Toshiki Okada. Set in a supermarket, Super Premium … takes a darkly humorous look at Japanese consumerism, through slacker language, dreamlike movement and a striking soundscape of J. S. Bach.
Working with his company, chelﬁtsch, Okada is celebrated as a chronicler of Japan’s Lost Generation, the young people coming of age as their economy spiralled into decline. His theatre captures their unease, selfcentredness and cynicism so astutely that his characters will need no translation for a London audience.

This a recording of the post show discussion with Toshiki Okada at Arts Depot on the 11th June as part of LIFT2014.
