Marianne Dissard
Haven't we all wondered lately... what the hell is happening with the UK?! How do you explain Brexit, four decades of Tories austerity, Liz Truss's „lettuce“, England without the Queen, London as an international plutocrats' paradise?

Souvenir of England
Originally inspired by British filmmaker Joanna Hogg's „The Souvenir, Part 1“ with Tilda and Honor Swinton, Marianne Dissard presents a punchy and articulate live music and visual theater experience that radically reframes Hogg's tender coming-of-age story, set in 1983 London, as a blunt meditation on England's legacy of wealth and power.
Featuring Dissard's urban photography series of posh South West London and 1980s pop classics like Shipbuilding and Ghost Town by Raphael Mann re-imagining Hogg's soundtrack using sounds of metal hitting metal to evoke the labour of metallurgy on which the „mighty British empire“ was built. The 80s are dead, long live the 80s!
