Dream of a storm invited / dream of a ghostly carousel

Dream of a fire ignited / in the engine rooms of Hell…

Fri 28 July 8.30pm – 10.00pm

The Lighthouse Invites the Storm (electric)

In tandem with the Malcolm Lowry Under the Volcano conference, artists Alan Dunn, Jeff Young and Martin Heslop have been commissioned to explore Lowry’s relationship with his New Brighton birthplace, working with retired merchant seafarers from Mariners’ Park.

For the performance The Lighthouse Invites the Storm Martin Heslop and Jeff Young will be joined onstage by Liverpool’s musical maverick Jack Roberts, multi-instrumentalist Vidar Norheim and singer-songwriter Mersey Wylie. Encompassing live music, film projection, spoken word and songs, this mesmerising new piece weaves together Lowry’s alcoholic visions, the dreams and memories of retired mariners, and the forces of river and ocean to take the audience on a Lowryesque journey into the heart of the storm.

Sat 29 July 7pm

The Lighthouse Invites the Storm (acoustic)

Mariners’ Park Care Home, Royden Avenue, Wallasey, CH44 0HN

There are limited tickets available for the Saturday performance, to book your ticket click here.

Looking out over the Mersey itself, Mariners’ Park – home to retired seafarers – plays host to this evening of live music, spoken word, readings and songs in tribute to Malcolm Lowry, drawing on the memories and experiences of the merchant seamen of Mariners’ Park. Performed by Martin Heslop, Jeff Young, Jack Roberts, Vidar Norheim and Helen Tookey.

In addition to the performances at Bluecoat and Mariners’ Park there will be a variety of other opportunities to engage with the project, including

  • A poster-work at Merseyrail stations;
  • artworks distributed free in the Wirral Globe
  • A Day of the Dead download mix by Dunn, Balam Ronan and Phil Legard
  • An open afternoon, The Leaving of Liverpool, at Mariners’ Park on Wed 26 Jul, 2.30 – 4pm, Friday 28 Jul, 2.30-4pm, and Saturday 29 Jul, 2.30-4pm, programmed by Roger Cliffe-Thompson with content courtesy of National Museums Liverpool (Merseyside Maritime Museum) – an opportunity to meet retired seafarers and see displays and artefacts.

ART, WRITING, AUDIO AND MORE: STUPLEX 002 LAUNCHES IN LIVERPOOL

You hear it on the streets, in the bars, down the alleyways, from open windows:

“Stuplex is coming! Stuplex is coming!”

You cock your ear to the breeze and hope for a clue to help unlock the meaning of this curious phrase, but the breeze is keeping the secret to itself. Or so you think.

An empty cardboard box tumbles along the pavement and rolls to a stop just ahead of you. An empty cardboard box just waiting.

A box just waiting to be filled.

What is Stuplex?

  • Stuplex is an evolving collaborative project created by writers, artists and musicians in Liverpool, UK. It originated as an idea in a pub and now exists as an artefact you can buy.
  • Stuplex is art, essay, sound, verse, fiction and more; each item is handmade, curated with loving care, and beautifully packaged inside a collectible box.
  • Stuplex is produced in themed editions, in a variety of formats, and published when it’s good and ready.
  • The theme of Stuplex 001, published in May 2014, was Decay.
  • The theme of Stuplex 002 is Decadence.
