Devil in the Details
an interactive performance by Dystopian Sock Puppets
A family comes together to perform a powerful ritual. In order to keep living their extravagant lifestyle, they must pledge themselves to a dark and mysterious power. Using an ancient first edition of the Picture of Dorian Grey, they've found a way to store hardships into a portrait. However, with any boon comes dangerous consequences. In alternating scenes, audience members will switch between playing members of the family and playing the devils that emerge from their portraits. As family members, participants will interact with one another, while as devils participants will engage in art-making. The progression of the art will reflect the progression of the characters. Hazel Dixon - Creator and Facilitator Usva Inei - Creator Sarah Cook - Performer Running Time: 2 hours Tickets: £12

About Side/Step Festival
This is the first edition of Side/Step Festival. 102 Upper Street is a restaurant space previously only used on weekends. Deadweight, alongside a number of other creatives, used the space for rehearsals, workshops, performances and fundraisers. It was a life saver to have free space in which we could continue making work. In recent news, we learned that the space would be used full time from March and we would be loosing access to the space. With the closure of The Vault Festival earlier this year, many artists felt the blow of not having a space to showcase their work. This inspired us to make the most of the time we have left with 102 Upper Street and create our own festival for artists who want to try something new and meet a community of creative people. This festival is made together with Deadweight.
