ON THIS DAY, IN THIS PLACE
ELECTRIC ANGEL.

‘On this day, in this place’ seeks to use memories and maps to collate 10 stories from the local community that are rooted in the locale and place them, via temporary artworks, back in the places from where the stories came.

Designer / text artist Adrian Riley will be in residence at Western Library on Monday 2nd October collecting stories from users of the library. Honed down to a resonant or intriguing single phrase, these will re-emerge in the surrounding locale by the end of the week to be discovered by chance.

Adrian has worked across the North of England creating public artworks including phonetic birdsong panels at RSPB Bempton, a text-based public art scheme in Kingswood Parks Primary School, and glass panels on Bridlington seafront with artist Rachel Welford.

By Laura Turner
Directed by Jake Smith

Featuring singer-songwriter and beatboxing champion Grace Savage, Lexi is a one-woman show bringing together beatboxing and music in a modern retelling of the Greek story Elektra. Hull, 2017, a smoking summer. Lexi is ready for her life to start, busting beats and singing songs. She’s got big plans. Then a suckerpunch: she finds her dad dead. Obsessed with finding out the truth, her life becomes a dark path full of secrets, lies and home truths.

This performance is a work in progress.
