Before a recap of the highs and low’s of the Venice Biennial 2026. Some sideways glances. Love playing with the iPhone camera. There is a lot to process in a strange week. Whatever happens, can’t forget the Genocide in Gaza and the bombing Lebanon and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine The end of a long day traveling, breakfast in Venice, lunch in Munich and late supper in Folkestone @veniceagendas
Venice right now Protest supporting Palestine. Many of the pavilions in The biennale closed, strikes all in support to end the occupation of Palestine. So many artists who have spoken up to condemn the genocide, but none of them have a big enough platform to amplify their views and the ones that have, have been less than vocal.
The bush theatre is great and the studio tight and close up and personal. The piece could do with an edit. The lighting does not add anything. But there is a compelling story there trying to break out. Info from the website: Written by Tony Craze Award winner Farah Najib and directed by Jess Barton, Cast includes Sam Baker Jones, who plays Jack Grealish in the BBC’s upcoming Dear England, Safiyya Ingar who is known for appearing in two seasons of Netflix’s The Witcher, and Marcia Lecky, whose illustrious career includes multiple plays at the National Theatre, feature films, and TV appearances in EastEnders, Ted Lasso and Doctor Who.
