Kim Noble / International Festival New Europe. Escaping forward.

Play duration: 1 hour Tickets: 50/35 PLN

Lullaby for Scavengers. 
A lullaby is a soothing song. 
Scavengers eat dead animals. 

Kim Noble's ex-lover and co-host is an angry dead squirrel.  
The angry dead squirrel can talk. 
The piece is quite funny. 
The piece is about grand feelings. 
For example, people's fear of loneliness. 
It is also about our wishes and dreams.  

Kim Noble is an English cult comedian/artist. 
He lived in a sewer and in a tree. 
He got a very important theatre award in England.  
His performances are humorous, but the squirrel doesn’t think so. 
The performances are also about serious things.  
Like death and friendship. 

 

Kim Noble (UK) is an award-winning comedian and video artist. His multidisciplinary approach has led to theatre, TV, film, art and comedy. He was one half of Perrier Award-winning, BAFTA-nominated experi-mental comedy duo Noble and Silver. In 2017, Noble will begin a residency trajectory at CAMPO. In this context, in 2018 Kim Noble created the live radio show Wild Life FM together with director Pol Heyvaert and musician Jakob Ampe, and in 2020 he created the show Lullaby for Scavengers, the final part of his trilogy on loneliness and friendship. 

In his work, Kim Noble uses humour and provocation to expose the condition humaine: he mixes notions of death, sexuality, gender and religion with dry-comic tragedy and a heavy dose of absurdity. He has a girl’s name and no longer smells of wee.
