(Thurs 10th May / 8pm / £6 advance, £8 on the door)

Set in a world of technological contraptions where the protagonist is a confused cyborg who struggles to understand her ability to reproduce. Sarah Ruff uses stand-up comedy, live art and animation to describe a personal dilemma. Featuring real and hilarious telephone conversations with her mother who seems to have lived in a forgotten age.

At the heart of the work is a very human, comical and tragic response to the feeling of being disenfranchised. The piece was greatly inspired by Donna Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto and conversations with Andrew Clarke, author of Natural Born Cyborgs. Conference of Strange has a strong visual concept and uses stark projected imagery.
