What is the event?

Inspired by films, books, artists, paintings, experiences and people, Follow the Crumpet Productions debut event, Creatures of the Underworld is a transient world where fantasy and reality merge in a labyrinth of surreal and intriguing chambers. This themed one night event will be comprised of many different and juxtaposing spaces or installations in the form of a labyrinth which the audience will immerse themselves in over the course of the night before coming back to the central social space, the heart of the event.

The central space will be the social hub of the event, with the bar, finger food and music, performance, dance and poetry. Filled with cosy nooks and crannies, sofas, cups and saucers of mulled wine, the environment will be both stimulating and comfortable, a space where people can celebrate their bohemianism, release their inhibitions and revel in one night of totally outrageous creativity. The overall feel of the event will be one of romance and of the mundane juxtaposing the fantastical.

Creatures of the Underworld is a truly cross genre event that is limited only by how much people are prepared to engage with the space and each other. It is an event that pushes the limitations of what we know social arts events to be. It is a place where preconceived ideas and notions of what the event will be or how it should be are to be left with your coats at the door. It is place where choreographed dance takes place alongside revellers, where peoples experience and engagement with others is as creative as the art work itself.

We want people to stretch the borders of their imagination, to move as though through a dream to push the borders of reality and then come back to engage in more of the surreal and the hilarious.

On the following pages is an invitation to immerse yourself in our vision, to take a trip through our imaginations, to explore your own notions of love and horror, beauty and ugliness, dark and light and become a Creature of the Underworld.
