Gallows and Children is a visceral exploration of power, resistance, and the cost of revolution. Inspired by the resistance movements of 1970s Turkey yet resonating globally, Gallows and Children refuses easy answers, asking what happens when power and resistance collide again and again.

The play unfolds in two colliding worlds: the grotesque, absurd realm of politicians, and the raw, physical world of student revolutionaries.

Three actors embody six characters, each performer carrying both an oppressor and a revolutionary within a single body. Through heightened physicality, movement, sound, fragmented speeches, torn manifestos, and shifting spaces, the play creates striking imagery and an intense theatrical language.

Welcome back the second of our Revolting Women series! The second concert continues our theme of showcasing music from women throughout the centuries.

Join one of London’s newest exciting music ensembles, the Verdier Trio, for a short evening of music in flight. Powerful female characters from the Baroque era to the 19th Century show the joy of lovers on the run, in exile, rogue saints and more!

The Verdier Trio has local roots. Soprano – Matilda Dawes, Flautist – Juliet Beadle and Pianist – Celia Margalef met whilst studying at Trinity Laban Music Conservatoire and began performing to great acclaim with their inaugural concert held to a sold out crowd in Faversham last year. They have a passion for performing lesser known works by female composers. They pride themselves on an obvious close working friendship and easy style of communicating with an audience.

Sunday 8th March. Learn more here https://space.org.uk/event/revolting-women-26/
