_ LIBERATING ART
Bridging the gap between art and performance. Mutus Liber from Italy are a five-artist group who are making a unique one-day appearance in Glasgow at the Third Eye Centre on Tuesday 18 August. In ‘The Knight and the Body olthe Dawn’ they create an installation using coloured marble powder on the floor. together with lighting. and in the evening give a brief performance that further develops their theme, which pools their combined research of alchemical imagery and texts.
(School for Scandal and 'I'arruffr’). Richard Brinsley Sheridan‘s much-loved comedy of manners. A respectable but unremarkable production that begins very slowly but gathers speed and interest as the play progresses and features nice performances from Garry Stewart and Billy McElhaney. as the two brothers to whom there is more than meets the eye. and David MeKail as the uncle who reveals their true colours.
Tanufle Until Sat 8 Aug. 7.45pm. For ticket prices see School forScandal . Revival of Liz Lochhead’s wonderfully funny Scots adaptation of Moliere‘s classic comedy about hypocrisy.
