A event on Sunday 27th July. The event starts at 19:30.
What would you do if men had a curfew?
Run with headphones on? Wear whatever you want? Dance in the streets?
Curfew is an outdoor show by Birmingham-based artist & activist duo, Calico. Coming to Temple Church on 27th & 28th July, Curfew blends dance, theatre, and video to reimagine public spaces as a place for joy, instead of fear. Expect drag kings, wigs, verbatim voices, and media mash-ups as Calico explores the wild reality of gendered violence, victim-blaming and the dream of a world without it.
After the show, stick around for a post-show discussion to share your ideas for how we can build safer streets together. Because a curfew isn’t the solution, but there is a problem. Calico’s work connects communities with policing, governance, and academic research, so your insights will directly inform their whole-system approach to tackling gendered violence.
Curfew was shortlisted for Pleasance Theatre’s Charlie Harthill Edinburgh Fringe Fund. It has previously been performed at Camden People’s Theatre’s ‘Calm Down, Dear’ festival and ‘Spin Out’ Festival at Worthing Theatres and Museum.
Audience Feedback:
‘Seeing these dancers have fun at night, joyful and free, made me feel grief for something that I’d always wished to have’ - China Plate, First Bite Festival
‘Beautiful and moving piece’ - Worthing Theatres & Museum
