Venue: 
The Exeter Daily Auditorium, Exeter Phoenix

A razor sharp and slightly dark exploration of our universal desire to win. Three intrepid contestants compete in a series of games that range from hilariously stupid to uncomfortable, arbitrary, and downright heartbreaking. Chris, Jess and Ira fearlessly do whatever it takes to win – to please you, the audience. They are also eager to share their stories, perspectives and awkward dances in between.

Anarchic, thoughtful and ultimately moving, Gym Party speaks to anyone who frets about the state of the world and how we treat each other – then gets distracted by a dumb celebrity...

Venue: 
The Exeter Daily Auditorium, Exeter Phoenix

When seven close friends escape to a country estate for a weekend of fun, things begin to fall apart as the group crosses the boundaries of friendship and love.

Dirty Decadence is a modern ballet that indulges the idea of pleasure taking over logic. Taking inspiration from Laura Wade’s Posh and Karl Largefeld’s drawings of imperialist Russian parties, Theatre With Teeth present a show set to a score of classical music and remixed with dubstep tracks, that creates a vibrant and charged atmosphere.

Ignite Festival: Peter and the Wolf (And Me)

Event Date: 
02/06/2014 - 9:00pm to 03/06/2014 - 7:00pm
Venue: 
Exeter Phoenix

1985, Harare, Zimbabwe. Robert Gabriel Mugabe is carving a new African vision, Michael Jackson’s Thriller is shredding the charts and Radio Gaga is all we hear.

At school, in order to avoid the boredom of learning by rote and the casual dispensation of corporal punishment, a young boy tells the folk tale Peter and The Wolf to his class. In his telling of it, Russia is replaced with Africa, the duck with a rooster. As his story of The Wolf unfolds, the boundaries between Peter’s world and the boy’s life at home, with his stepfather, begin to blur and merge.

Peter and The...

Ignite Festival: Kusse

Event Date: 
02/06/2014 - 9:00pm to 03/06/2014 - 6:00pm
Venue: 
Exeter Phoenix

Kusse explores our human desire to connect with others and our need for intimacy. Loosely based on Franz Kafka’s Letters to Felice; an impossible love affair that existed through hundreds of letters, a handful of meetings, two engagements, and no marriages; Kafka’s desire was defeated by his fear. Kusse combines visually poetic images with quirky humour to reflect upon intimacy in an age of virtual relationships.
