WAYNE MCGREGOR COMPANY: MY LAND
AUTOBIOGRAPHY Wayne McGregor had his entire genome sequenced in preparation for this show. The results dictate the running order, so a different show is performed each night – which one will you get? See feature at list.co.uk/ festival Festival Theatre, 11–13 Aug, 7.30pm, £14–£35.
The performers in Budapest-based company Recirquel weave their phenomenal acrobatic skill into a truly theatrical experience in this show inspired by Ukrainian myths and legends. See feature at list.co.uk/ festival Assembly Roxy, until 26 Aug (not 8, 13, 20), 8.10pm, £12–£14 (£11–£13).
THE ARTIST BACKUP
Surrounded by canvases, pots and paints, an artist (aka clown extraordinaire Thom Monckton) attempts to paint a masterpiece, but everything keeps going wrong, in this clever, hilarious show. See review, page 69. Assembly Roxy, until 27 Aug (not 14), 4.20pm, £12 (£10).
Brussels-based company Chaliwaté use puppets, live video feeds and deadpan clowning to tell the story of a film crew’s road trip to the North Pole in what our critic called ‘a wee gem of a show’. See review, page 69. Summerhall, until 26 Aug (not 13, 20), 10.50am, £9 (£7). SEDIMENT
