I TOLD YOU THE APOCALYPSE WAS COMING
Fresh from its international premiere at Stockholm fringe, Ram of God the film graces your screens for the blessed month of October. Developed with Soho Theatre's cabaret & drag lab and funding from Arts Council England, the raucous live show that never (yet) was is reimagined as a film. With influences from seventies horror to cereal adverts, Ram of God is a playful takedown of masculinity and its shadowy cheerleaders, and asks the question: to what extent patriarchy is a cult in which women are socialised to follow and men are socialised to lead.
Featuring original music by award winning composer Adam Jonota Bzowski and music transposed from a detail in Hieronymous Bosch's painting 'The Garden of Earthly Delights', printed on a man's naked backside in hell, the film playfully tackles the new possibilities and limitations of presenting theatre on screen.
