Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Thursday 7 November 2013, 7.30pm Hello, Welcome, You look very nice. We’re Big Hits and we’re on a mission. You’ll learn SELF-IMPROVEMENT here with us tonight and you will COMPLETELY improve yourself. That way you can be better in the world. Are you ready? This one’s for you. BIG HITS sees maverick performance makers GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN pledge to the audience that “tonight is about giving you what you want” with 1 song, 1 giant white rabbit, 1 light and 1 token man. With their trademark ‘pathetic aesthetic’ (low-fi, cheap, brash) they unleash a feel-good binge, rinsing everything they can out of their inadequate stash of stuff until every last option is exhausted. Just like GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN’s hit show External, with which the young company burst onto the UK experimental performance scene, BIG HITS rises up in the space between live art and theatre, mixing installation-style physical tasks with a cabaret performance mode and a fierce, staring philosophical eye. GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN’s work is resolutely cross-genre and it revels in playing with glory and endurance, as well as artifice and the banal. GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN is a 2013/14 Artsadmin Associate Artist. BIG HITS was commissioned by Belluard Bollwerk International (Switzerland) and was co-produced by PACT Zollverein (Germany), Bora Bora (Denmark) and Colchester Arts Centre. BIG HITS credits: Conceived and devised by the company | Directed by Hester Chillingworth | Performed by Lucy McCormick, Jennifer Pick and Craig Hamblyn BIG HITS contains nudity and strong language.
