Thursday, June 1: The Strongest Girl in the World

'The best job in life is to be the father of a daughter. It's like holding a little bird in your hand.' Dark Skies presents The Strongest Girl in the World, a solo performance about one woman's journey to learn more about her late father and her former self. Voicing family members, friends, story book characters and more, Truly seeks to understand who her father was. Telling a story of growth, grief and resilience, the play is a comedic and heart-warming look at childhood loss, and how we remember those we love.

Friday, June 2: Live Music - Solar 72

"Solar 72 are a London based instrumental collective drawing influences from a wide range of Music from Latin and African rhythms to Jazzy modal melodies and Psychedelic Rock!

Playing their first ever set at The Bread and Roses expect Up Tempo Grooves, Catchy Melodies and plenty of Free Improvisation."

Until June 3: Breadth

A multi-media, magic realist drama based on true experiences of the pandemic, prejudice, and the care of older people. 

Join Ibn Khaldun, medieval mystic, polymath and jurist, on a journey from the Great Plague to the COVID-19 pandemic through the lives of older people and the racial minorities care for them. From football to racism to pet tortoises, follow stories of different families in this multi-media, magical realist drama. 

Based on true experiences, breaDth takes us through the challenges, loves and humour behind these stories. 

Sunday. June 4: Beast or God

Beast or god is a physical solo show about loneliness and motherhood. Erika Eva's piece tells a story of a single mom having a night for herself after putting her toddler to bed. The mother's emotions travel from loneliness to the sense of triumph during one night as Erika Eva brings the yearning and sacrifices to the stage without dialogue.

Sound designer Xavier Velastín uses Erika's toddler's music in the design. The three-year-old Adrian likes playing music and his voice is also heard in the piece.

Erika Eva is a physical performer and theatre director based in Finland. She holds an MA in Theatre Directing from East 15 Acting School and since 2017 she has led her own theatre company, Ekata Theatre, which has produced visual, relevant and physical theatre in London and Helsinki.
