Club Guy & Roni Invites: Barnaby Booth + Lunatics & Poets

Club Guy & Roni presents a double bill (two performances in one evening) featuring choreographers Barnaby Booth and the duo Lunatics & Poets (Anna Jacobs and Hanna van der Meer). Both have previously created work for Club Guy & Roni.

Beings That Count by Barnaby Booth
In a small village on the edge of reality, doomsday scenarios bubble to the surface. Despite the pronounced strangeness and the questions it raises, ultimately there is hope for everything and everyone. Inspired by David Lynch's Twin Peaks and the fiction podcast Welcome to Night Vale, presented as a radio show for the fictional desert town of Night Vale, reporting on the strange events that take place there, Barnaby Booth creates a hopeful, humorous dance performance in which dramatic characters encounter themselves as abstract versions of their own inner motivations.

Kaputt in Hollywood by Lunatics & Poets 
In their new performance Kaputt in Hollywood, they explore the fascinating world of desire and build on the cinematic character and non-narrative use of text from their previous work Postcards from a Better Place from 2022. Anna and Hanna: "We are currently exploring the fascinating world of desire as the starting point for our next theater piece. Inspired by the lyrics of Nick Cave and the mix of existing and newly composed music, we create a poetic story. With transformative set and costume design, we transport the audience into a different world. (In addition to dance, we have a background in fashion which plays an important role in the visual elements of the performance)."

Club Guy & Roni invites choreographers with whom it feels a connection to create new work. This is in line with the dance company's mission to support, guide, and promote creators to a wider audience.

• Each piece, Beings that Count and Kaputt in Hollywood, lasts 30 minutes and there is a 20-minute intermission between the performances.
