"“Endlessly surprising – and often moving. It’s a reminder that all lives are extraordinary in their ordinariness.” " -Holly Williams, The Stage
"“In its gentle appeal to slow down, 12 Last Songs gives the audience an opportunity to consider beauty in places not normally associated with that word…”" -Angelo Irving, Exeunt Magazine

Saturday 19 October, 12 noon to Midnight 

Nice to meet you, what do you do?

12 Last Songs is part live exhibition, part epic performance. It’s about work and how we spend our time. Making a living. Finding your passion. Watching the clock.

From midday to midnight on Saturday 19 October, real workers from Glasgow will perform paid shifts in our main theatre space, in front of a live audience.  There are no actors.

A builder might build a wall, a hairdresser might cut someone’s hair, a chef might prepare a meal… We’ll find out what they do, and how they see themselves in the world….

_______________________

This durational performance takes place over 12 hours, and audiences can come and go as they please during that time, using the same ticket. 

Directed by Richard Gregory, 12 Last Songs is an extraordinary work by Manchester-based ensemble Quarantine, known around the world for their forensic interest in daily life.


Audience Notes
12 Last Songs is unscripted, and therefore we don’t know what subjects might arise during the performance. We will publish more detailed 'advisories' ahead of the performance.

ACCESS - BSL interpreted

Age recommendation
There is no age limit, and there are £2 children’s tickets available to allow carers with younger children to attend. Please be aware of the show’s unscripted nature. Your child’s attendance is at your discretion.


12 Last Songs is co-commissioned by Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts; Cambridge Junction with the support of the Stobbs New Ideas Fund; and HOME. It was originally co-produced by Transform.

12 Last Songs is supported by Arts Council England and The Rank Foundation.
