About
Both pieces are based around an old Victorian house which used to exist at 117 Lewisham Way and the family which used to live there.
117 – one one seven
This is a play based on interviews with a British woman who has been living in Kyoto since 1989. It introduces her life and her old house at 117 Lewisham Way, which used to exist in New Cross. During the play, the recorded voices of interviews are played and Japanese actors interpret them into Japanese and English. As the play unfolds, this act of ‘interpreting’ transforms into ‘acting’. The memory of New Cross travelled overseas with her and now will be re-told to the people in UK as the story of ‘an outsider’.
Directed by Keiko Yamaguchi. Performed by Bridget Scott, Hiromi Demura and Tatsunori Imamura, with sound technician Toru Koda.
Ghost House Gone House
Two simultaneous films documenting 117 Lewisham Way, a Victorian villa and lost local landmark in the year prior to its demolition. The films were shot by David Aylward (drums and percussion) and Tom Scott-Kendrick (reeds, strings and electronics) who will also provide a live soundtrack including field recordings made at 117 Lewisham Way.
