The Dark Theatre
returns to the bankrupted warehouse in Hope (Sufferance) Wharf in Londons Docklands where Alan Read worked through the 1980s to identify a four-decade interregnum of cultural cruelty wreaked by financialisation, austerity and communicative capitalism. Between the OPEC Oil Embargo and the first screening of The Familyin 1974, to the United Nations report on UK poverty and the fire at Grenfell Tower in 2017, this volume becomes a book about loss.
In the harsh light of such loss is there an alternative to the market that profits from peddling well-being and pushes prescriptions for self-help, any role for the arts that is not an apologia for injustice? What if culture were not the solution but the problem when it comes to the mitigation of grief? Creativity not the remedy but the symptom of a structural malaise called inequality? Read suggests performance is no longer a political panacea for the precarious subject but a loss adjustor measuring damages suffered, compensations due, wrongs that demand to be put right. These field notes from a fire sale are a call for angry arts of advocacy representing those abandoned as the detritus of cultural authority, second-order victims whose crime is to have appealed for help from those looking on, audiences of sorts.
