Cuncrete

Cuncrete is an act of deceptively sophisticated insurrection against the Man - in every sense. From the buildings the Man builds, to the language the Man uses, to the music the Man plays. It is also weepingly funny and dark and deadly. Of all the shows I saw in Edinburgh in 2016, it stands out as knowing what it’s about. And it’s about now. And it’s about time. 

- Tim Crouch

A drag king punk gig about architecture and idealism!

A dysto-utopian noise about The Man!

A no-wave musical about how we ended up in this mess!

Hosted by washed up architect/proto-god figure Archibald Tactful and accompanied by anti-virtuoso punk band The Great White Males - Cuncrete is a gratuitously sleazy and joyfully noisy critique of alpha-masculinity and the built environment. Expect original music, grotesque posturing, sharp suits and cement.

“An exhilaratingly bleak swansong for the grey, hard dreams of powerful men." ★★★★

The Stage

“Politically vital... somewhere between a howl of rage and a rallying cry."

Created by Rachael Clerke, I worked closely as Dramaturg throughout the creation of this fantastic show.
