Reveal launches this Thursday with a myriad of cultural stuff to sink your teeth into. Our two major commissions with London Sinfonietta and Periplum are among the many events taking place this weekend.
Critically acclaimed theatre company Periplum have been working with local artists and community groups to create '1000 Revolutions a Minute', a site-responsive theatrical trail inspired by the musical history of King’s Cross. Follow the life-changing moments of the character ‘Me’ played out on the streets, alleyways and hidden corners of King’s Cross, with music acting as a catalyst, a companion or a provocation. (Free – booking via the website)
London Sinfonietta, and award-winning animator Tony Comley take to the Midland Goods Shed for In Time, a site-specific piece creating amazing aural and visual landscapes. (£5.50 – booking via the website)
These events take place on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th April only – so book now!
We are also looking for a couple of volunteers to steward performances: So do get in touch if you fancy getting involved behind the scenes! Just email sian.james@bl.uk

The Periplum trail was absolutely wonderful and sucessfully incorporated a lot of local knowledge and Kings Cross folklore and was visually stunning. Sites included a party in a flat Midhope and in the courtyard outside, McGlynns Pub, the Holy Cross in Cromer Street; a rave and a riot in the underground NCP car park in Judd Street; the sacred space in the Lumen Church in Regent Square; a silent rave procession and cameo street theatre along Sidmouth Street.
There were more songs and illuminated street theatre in the Calthorpe Project gardens in Grays Inn Road before a final silent rave procession to The Harisson where there more songs and performances and drinks.
