For the first time ever post-punk pioneers The Tiger Lillies join forces with cabaret legend David Hoyle for a new concert on a theme which has always run through their work - the meaninglessness and absurdity of existence. Brimming with wit, wisdom and humanity they argue that our achievements will come to nothing - like throwing stones into a pond, the effects of our actions will ripple away into nothingness.
The Tiger Lillies are one of the foremost avant-garde bands in the world. Grammy nominated, Olivier award winners, they created many shows including the West End hit Shockheaded Peter. One of the first bands to tour Ukraine since war broke out, they released an album to support the people there.
Fireball of avant-garde cabaret, David Hoyle is the original performance avalanche – an all-singing, all-raging bona fide performance legend. He’s appeared in his own Channel 4 TV series, in films and on stages worldwide.
★★★★★ 'It is hard to do justice to the dark, poetic brilliance of The Tiger Lillies, just seek out a ticket for this glorious show.' The Scotsman
'Hoyle is raw, sometimes frightening, but also thrilling in his look-no-hands recklessness' The Guardian
Running time: 90 minutes, plus interval
