BURRELL THEATRE, TRURO
7.30pm

The life of the violinist and composer Joseph Emidy is one of the most extraordinary of modern times. Born in Guinea, West Africa in 1775, at the height of European colonialism, Emidy was first captured as a slave by the Portuguese, then kidnapped by the British Navy, serving as a fiddler on The Indefatigable during the French wars. Landing at Falmouth, Cornwall and being presented with a magical tin violin made by an illiterate miner, Emidy became a musical genius of the early nineteenth century.

RELEASE explores the lives of three prisoners in their first few months after release, as they attempt to reconnect with the people and remnants of life they left behind.

At a time when two thirds of UK prisoners re-offend within two years, Release fuses high energy physical theatre, an original new score and mixed media to create an explosive insight into just how hard it is to go straight.

A mischievous Parliament of rooks will be running amok in the shabby chic lower room of Jam, an esoteric record shop in Falmouth, from 11th May 2012, where they will be in residence for a fortnight of mayhem.

Parliament is an installation created by the renowned sculptor Tim Shaw; it consists of twenty five rooks constructed from black polythene, straw and wire. The installation is completed with the menacing cries of the birds merged with political debates recorded from within the House of Commons.

Exhibition of exciting new works by Sue Read on the theme of Mordros, a unique cornish word which describes the sound of the sea.

This year’s St Ives Community Play is Shakespeare’s the Merry Wives of Windsor, and we are looking for fairies and little devils for the closing scene.

In preparation, we are hosting a ‘Make & Create’ workshop and inviting children aged 5 to 11 to participate. The afternoon will be run by local artists, and children will leave with an item of costume that they have created in the workshop – a scary little devil mask or a pair of fairy wings.
