Moments to Midnight

Live art/cabaret performance commissioned by DELVE Festival, 'Cabaret at The End of The World (as we know it)', The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen.

A clock ticks in real time, it is late in the evening, we are all nearing midnight, we have moments left until 'the end'. In that case, what is the best use of the time we have left?

In this performance we are all heading to hell in a handcart. How we respond to this information is up to us. What do we turn to in the end? Do we need escapism or is now the time to face the music? Katy coordinates activities for the end of days with the people in the room. Amid dancing like there's no tomorrow, ticking things off the bucket list, posing for our final picture, downing tequila shots and conjuring up some ghosts, what feels helpful at the point of no return? What do we collectively want to leave behind? Moments to Midnight draws on historical and present anxieties around the end of eras and what humans turn to when facing finality.
