Shangri-Lala
SHANGRI-LALA is a side-show set-up investigating philosophies around Utopianism, researched and co-created via local community workshops.
Utopia
Five different utopias are hosted by the distinguished Dr YaYa, benevolent dictator and natural leader. His small enthusiastic squad of young ‘Thought Police’ patrol the surrounding streets checking on passing people’s minds – distinctly Dystopian.
ARCADIA. A gentle sketch by a worldly shepherdess with some humanoid sheep (Ewetopia) on the ancient maxim, Et in Arcadia Ego – even in Paradise there is death.
AVALON. A vigorous drubbing of The Knights of the Round Table and their search for the Holy Grail.
SHANGRI-YAYA. Dr YaYa’s personal cabaret presentation starring himself, Lady YaYa and friends whose dreams to perform have come true.
YOUTOPIA. Lady YaYa takes you on a Journey to Your Inner Space.
HOPELAND. You will exit in contentment, older, wiser and refreshed.
