IKEA Opera

My friend Bex is the creative genius behind this. Go watch.

Flatpack is a new opera about furniture, domesticity and the often baffling challenges that every-day life can throw at us. It is uniquely and innovatively staged within the IKEA store in Wembley. By performing in a public space during official store opening hours, Flatpack pushes back the boundaries of opera and seeks to attract both audience and unsuspecting shoppers to the work.

Follow the performers on their adventures through the store, watching their stories develop and intertwine as they move from space to space.

Nearly home for Easter

I’m flying home tomorrow at 7:45 am. I’m really looking forward to it but not so much to the accompanying rain. But then, I’m going back to the UK for the people not the climate!

Milan was amazing but haven’t had time to write about it so far this week. Instead of writing my blog I have been watching Skins 3 compulsively…

But it will be a good tale when I get round to penning it, lots happened and it was quite the adventure!
