Journey to Nutopia at The Cockpit

Journey to Nutopia
An evening of positive future narratives that refute the inevitably of global dystopia.

Hosted by Michelle Olley, with special guests:

JOHN HIGGS on LOVE & LET DIE: BOND, THE BEATLES & THE BRITISH PSYCHE
John Higgs talks about how Bond and the Beatles present us with opposing values, visions of Britain, and ideas about male identity. His new book LOVE AND LET DIE is the story of a clash between working class liberation and establishment control, and how it exploded on the global stage

ANDREW O'NEILL - COMEDIAN/ANARCHIST/THEY THEM of BBC Radio 4's DAMNED ANDREW
Andrew O'Neill is an award-winning comedian, musician and best-selling writer. A psychedelic non-binary whirlwind, they combine surrealism, polemic and good old-fashioned stagecraft to produce uniquely counter-cultural stand-up who has performed in over a dozen different countries, at over a hundred different festivals, and is equally at home in rowdy comedy clubs as performing to their own cult following.

THE HOVE SPACE PROGRAM
Re-entering earth’s atmosphere for the evening are Brighton-based arts collective The Hove Space Program. The Hove Space Program are a mostly fictional band of transcendental freedom fighters who act as mycelic energy nodes and multidimensional tricksters. They like to bring the party, and also enjoy a nice cup of tea and a sit down.
