CONCREATURES
Inverclyde Youth Theatre (Kayos) X Surge Street Theatre
Pop up performances - postponed with new dates to be announced in November, subject to any further announcement of govt restrictions | Free
Spot these curious Concreatures popping up to perform but keep your distance! Big fans of architecture (the more brutalist the better) these concrete creatures have an unusual way of celebrating stillness. The Concreatures are envious of anything that moves faster than a statue and have been known to enjoy a dance battle.
The project is supported by Awards for All, The Garfield Weston Foundation, Hugh Fraser Foundation and The Foyle Foundation and in partnership with RIG Arts, through Creative Scotland Open Project funding.
