THIS IS HOW WE DIE

THIS IS HOW WE DIE
6-10 August 2.30pm
Drill Hall Studio

Savage, surreal, hypnotic and apocalyptic, THIS IS HOW WE DIE blends spoken word, storytelling, caustic humour and gutter philosophy into a dizzying exorcism of a world that is convinced it is dying.

Filled with tales of paranoia and young love, ultra-violence and pitch-black humour – a spiralling odyssey of nightmarish prose.

With echoes of Lenny Bruce, William Burroughs, beat poetry and B-movies, THIS IS HOW WE DIE is a prime slice of surrealist trash and a blood-soaked love letter to the depraved, the depressed and the death-obsessed.

an absurd road movie of the soul cut with a razor wit and bubbling paranoia
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian ★★★★

Dramaturg: Anne Rieger. Musicians: Christopher Brett Bailey, Alicia Jane Turner, and Apollo.  Lighting Design by Sherry Coenen.  Produced by Beckie Darlington.  Original Artwork: Julian Martinez Milla

    Over the course of 2024 Out of the Blue will continue to offer opportunities for artists and members of the community to learn, participate and earn income.

    We use the space we have developed in 6 buildings in Edinburgh for studios, workshops, classes, projects, exhibitions, social enterprises, events, clubs, music making, markets, a cafe and more.

    Our all year round activity helps create the culture of the city, supporting the local economy and having positive social impact for the thousands of individuals and organisations we work with.

    We would humbly accept a financial donation, however small, in support of our work.
