Man. I thought sleeping with you would help me get over Diana. But I feel horrible. Just one of the things said to Abigoliah after sex. This NYC comic reflects on her own amorous affairs then asks: what's the weirdest thing you've been told post-coitus? Sometimes it's bizarre, other times it makes you fall in love. But it's always interesting and often a bit wrong. Winner Moth StorySLAM, NYC. 'A comedy whirl-wind!’ ***** (ThreeWeeks). 'Hilarious stories’ **** (Skinny). 'Not a run of the mill comic. Draws howls of laughter from the packed house’ **** (One4Review.co.uk).

'Lars Jan is changing the world – one multimedia presentation at a time' (Modern Painters). Abacus is a baroque presentation delivered by Japanese cult icon Paul Abacus, about the future of national borders, the workings of contemporary persuasion, and our evolving relationship to the screens in our public and private spaces, not to mention our pockets. Influenced by Buckminster Fuller, TED talks and megachurch media design, Abacus features kaleidoscopic data visualisations, dancing Steadicam operators, and the world’s first fully accredited giant panda. Official selection of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and the 2014 BAM Next Wave Festival, New York.

Lucidity Suitcase Intercontinental in association with Aurora Nova, United States 

'Brilliant and evocative' (Westword.com). Award-winning director, actor and designer Thaddeus Phillips takes you to the frontiers of Brazil, Serbia, Cuba, Bali, Israel, Colombia, Jordan, and Mexico in a dramatic, visual and surreal examination of imaginary lines, arbitrary passports and curious customs. This innovative solo work draws inspiration from the Balkan films of Emir Kustarica, the floor shows of the Tropicana in Havana, musicals about Austria, cheap magic, native myths from the Amazon jungle and Chile Relleno recipes. 'The work grabs you with its intelligence, humor, sarcasm, political critique, all the way until its moving finale' (El Heraldo).
