Synopsis
Theatre Souk will transform TheatreDelicatessen’s home into a theatrical market place, filling its performance spaces throughout the four-storey building. From the toilets to the store cupboard the audience will be confronted with noise, mystery and a continuous shock to the system as each door opens to reveal something entirely unexpected inside, corridors, kitchens and toilets with interactive work, created by some of London’s best emerging and experimental theatre makers. From puppet poker and a game show in which the audience member is the contestant, to intimate one on one performances, the original works all offer a unique take on the theme of money. Artists barter with audience members to come and see their work: choose from the twenty shows on offer or simply relax with a drink in the cabaret bar. In the midst of the recession, Theatre Souk prompts us to reflect on our money: how we get it, how we spend it, what it means to us, and how a new artistic economy might operate.

Theatre Souk, the latest project to take over Theatre Delicatessen’s Picton Place headquarters, is proof, if proof were needed, that necessity really is the mother of invention. Wander through the echoing former offices of Uzbekistan Airways and discover interactive, aerial and one-on-one theatre, as well as cabaret, puppetry and Chekhov, all of it based loosely around the theme of money.
The ‘souk’ concept is exciting and well executed: pay £7 to enter the ‘marketplace’, then barter for tickets to each individual piece of work.
Upon setting foot in the building, I was invited to take part in Priceless, an interactive show where the audience become contestants in a TV gameshow gone bad. The price? £3. I offered £2. Done. The show doesn’t conclude anywhere near as strongly as it begins, but 20 minutes of being bossed around in this funny and engaging piece put me in just the right...
