PERFORMANCE: The Ballad of Skinny Lattes and Vintage Clothing
Aural Detritus presents a co-production by The Neo-Futurist Collective and Fruit for the Apocalypse of The Ballad of Skinny Lattes and Vintage Clothing by Joseph Young.
Presented by Aural Detritus “The Ballad of Skinny Lattes and Vintage Clothing” is a six-movement ‘noise opera’; a satire that charts the rise of a Revolutionary Middle Class as it struggles to regain control of its local neighbourhood from a mythical Zionist cabal of global banking corporations. It is a story of gentrification, anti-semitism and austerity and how the financial and political turmoils of the 1930′s have come back to haunt us…” supported by Arts Council England.
