The Guide

SIRF 2011 and Reial Companyia de Teatre de Catalunya present
The Guide (El Guia)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri 5 Aug

12noon - 2.55pm

FREE (2 tickets per customer)

El Guia (The Guide) is an audio tour that takes us on a journey of a man who once worked in the building as he struggles to make sense of his recent past. From a life in pieces, a puzzle is assembled to create a vivid picture that could never be hung on the walls.

Taking place in mima in Middlebrough, small groups of visitors are led on a journey through the building with an MP3 player and a set of headphones. 

Created by Reial Companyia de Teatre de Catalunya with artistic support from UK based Metro-Boulot-Dodo. SIRF is pleased to present this event in partnership with mima.

The Dark Party

Fri 5 - Sun 7 Aug 8.30pm (Thur - Sat)8.45pm (Sun) £10 (plus 75p booking fee)

The Dirty Brothers are the kamikaze clown princes of sideshow, mixing silent comedy and sketches with some eye-watering stunts. As well as sword-swallowing, razor blades, piercing and the like, they dance blindfolded and in bare feet across a maze of mousetraps, lift a car battery by their nipples and, being Australians, tuck into a plate of live maggots. A hit at the Edinburgh and Sydney Festivals, The Dark Party is one invite you won't want to turn down.

Offer: Two for One tickets, discount applied in basket. Limited time only.

This event is part of the programme of events for SIRF 2011 and will take place in the Spiegel Tent on Parish Gardens. For more information on the rest of the SIRF programme, visit www.sirf.co.uk.
