Featuring Caitlin Rowley performing on her Twigstrument, created with support from Cyborg Soloists, PIGSPIGSPIGS is an experimental music theatre piece by British composer-performer group Bastard Assignments. It presents a story about an English farming family who get affected by strange, dark powers coming from their land... Four performers on a stage: costumes, homemade instruments. No pigs.  

For this new work, Bastard Assignments reimagine traditional English folk performance, composing their own folk songs, hymns and other music. These elements combine with composed music and improvised performance. Pen-lids and cooking pans, copper pipe, hoses and twigs, as well as conventional instruments, create the soundworld of this sinister fable.

PIGSPIGSPIGS was commissioned by Borealis - a festival for experimental music, Spor Festival and Wigmore Hall, and was created with the support of Arts Council England and Cyborg Soloists.
