Eleven-year-old Beanie’s bland life is changed for ever when he is sent on a mission. Armed only with laser lip-gloss and a pair of blend-in pants he has to save his parents from Evil Stella and return the Golden Nit to its rightful place at the heart of the sun, thereby saving the universe.
Featuring a cast of David Walliams, Miranda Hart, Catherine Tate and Rik Mayall.
Finnish Artists Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kotcha-Kalleinen decided to to transform the energy people put in to complaining to create Complaints Choirs.
As part of our forthcoming Encounters, journeys through language and landscape event this summer, Fermynwoods Contemporary Art are commissioning musician Paula Boulton to create a complaints choir for the event.
As well as forming the choir, Paula will be collecting complaints to turn them into two pieces which will be performed at the opening of Encounters.
One will focus on rural and urban landscape related issues, and one on more general personal complaints.
