SNOW Q
All Saints Centre, Lewes
Tues 18 February, 7.45pm
A new live literature production with text by poet Maria Jastrzębska, written in the extraordinary hybrid language of Ponglish (half-English / half-Polish). Snow Q reimagines Hans Christian Andersen’s story of The Snow Queen, combining words, music and visuals to explore contemporary themes of social isolation, gender, sexuality, migration and exile. The work focuses on Gerda's quest to find Kai, and the acerbic interventions of Crow.
Advance tickets bought from Saturday 15th onwards will be kept on the door for you to collect.
