City 2009: bringing down the walls

INVITATION TO THE PROCESSION

On behalf of the London Festival of Europe and the theatrical project Locus Solus, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the

Midnight Aesthetic Procession

We are currently looking for individuals, groups or organisations interested in participating in the May 1st procession by contributing sketches, readings, happenings, sounds, and anything related.

The procession will be punctuated by performances, poetry reading, public declamations and manifestos relating to the symbolic dominance of the city of London and its financial architecture over the futures of the peoples of Europe and the world. The Procession will draw from the imaginaries of Blake’s prophesies for London, Orwell’s dystopia in 1984, and Eliot’s Wasteland, amongst other resources. Ghosts from Europe’s past will come alive and rewalk the streets, alongside millenarian of the world’s future.

The Procession will start from London Bridge at 12 pm the night of Friday May 1st, go along the South Bank, cross Millenium Bridge, pass by St. Paul’s, Bank’s, and end in Shoreditch.
