VISUAL ART HARDEEP PANDHAL
William Trevitt and Michael Nunn have long been riding a wave of critical and audience acclaim and it doesn’t look like stopping any time soon. Deluxe offers their followers a distinct double bill of the organic and otherworldly against the dynamic and gritty. See preview, page 95. Theatre Royal, Glasgow, Sun 1 Mar; Festival Theatre, Edinburgh, Sun 8 Mar. In Confessions of a Thug: Pakiveli, the Glasgow-based Pandhal is set to fill the nation’s largest exhibition space with film, sculpture, drawing and rap (courtesy of his alter ego Pakiveli) in order to explore race, identity and definitions of ‘thug’. See preview, page 100. Tramway, Glasgow, until Sun 22 Mar.
