Love Camden

American History X (1998)

Plaza Camden, 14 Parkway, London NW1 7AA, UK

A Memory of Love is a romantic drama with elements of science fiction that explores the nature of romantic love across time, identity, and the memories that define us.

When a scientist attempts an experimental procedure to awaken his unconscious wife, he becomes trapped inside her mind. As he journeys through the memories of their relationship, he discovers unexpected truths about her, himself, and the fragile nature of their love. 

Part of the Voila! Theatre Festival, renowned Mexican actors Oscar Alexander and Andrea Somerville bring their more than 25 years of combined experience in theatre, television, and film in Mexico to London for the first time in a theatre festival celebrated for bringing together artists from around the world.

Using science fiction the play takes us in an exploration of love and identity across cultures.

Oscar Alexander

A Memory of Love

ETCETERA THEATRE, The Etcetera Theatre, 265 Camden High St, London NW1 7BU, UK

This screening will be prefaced by a full play-through of Pink Floyd's THE WALL on vinyl, soaring through the big beautiful sound system of a cinema screen. You can grab a drink and unwind in the darkness in a listening experience like no other, followed by a brief intermission and then a sensational presentation of LE BONHEUR.

LE BONHEUR is sometimes described as the greatest horror film of all time, disguised as a love story. From the mind of the legendary and pioneering director Agnes Varda, each frame is gorgeously warm, vibrant, and simple in a way that no other film has achieved since. About a carpenter with an idyllic life who falls in love with a post-office clerk, it is thrilling, gripping, devastating. It is a story you will never forget. 

This film is not appropriate for anybody under the age of 15.

SCHEDULE:

7:00PM-8:20PM - ALBUM PLAY-THROUGH 

8:20PM-8:40PM - 20 minute intermission

8:40PM - LE BONHEUR

You may attend any time during the album play-through, but we recommend you come at the start in order to get the full experience out of the evening.

Overacting Through Song

Critics have hailed their music as "extraordinary" and "fearless", with The Guardian describing their 2024 album Start Close In as a "radical leap". In three special live shows this Autumn at Camden's best small music venue, The Rheingans Sisters will revisit material from their five-album discography to celebrate their life's work together so far as well as showcasing new material from the duo plus both sisters' solo songwriting.

In these uniquely stripped back and intimate shows, expect the haunting BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winning song Mackerel to finally return alongside the timeless beauty of old classics like October Song, the epic balladry of This Forest and the wildness of Urjen plus brand new songs from both Rowan and Anna. A decade and a half of sisterly artistry distilled into a breathtaking evening; a chance to glimpse back with The Rheingans Sisters before their next leap forward.

Set against the backdrop of present day Paris, Pinned is a contemporary queer love story that blends French and English (including surtitles for both) with live cello, creating a dialogue for modern love. 

Claire, an academic from New Zealand finishing her anthropology masters in Paris, meets Léo, a disillusioned Parisian cellist caught in the slipstream of her own life. The two women form a bond that challenges them both to confront who they are and what they want from their futures. Pinned challenges our preconceptions about what it means to love someone and what it means to allow ourselves to be undone by someone else.

The nation of the Gummy Bears has declared war on the neighbouring nation of the Dinosaurs. Why? No one knows, but having made their stand, they will not back down now. The Dinosaurs are surprised by this unexpected provocation, but decide that they had better meet the challenge. It is painfully obvious that the Gummy Bears are marching to their doom, so the question remains: why do they remain so stubborn in the face of inevitable disaster?
The Gummy Bears' Great War was an immediate success when it made its UK debut at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024, where it won a number of 'pick of the Fringe' accolades from national and local press and enthralled sell-out audiences with a uniquely quirky tragicomedy played out in microcosm. Following similar success at the Brighton Festival, In Scena! (New York), &Fest (Helsinki) and several festivals in Italy, The Gummy Bears' Great War now invades London for the first time as part of the Voila! Festival. 
Called 'a bizarre and irresistible creation' by The Stage, The Gummy Bears' Great War is aimed at those interested in experimental, funny and provocative works. It's a small show that packs a powerful punch.
