Displaced and dislocated. Terminal ideologies. Replays of apocalypse scenarios.Fake news on translucent displays: distrust what you see, reject what you know. The vision mix of peripheral centre. Incoherent rancour:a polymorphous scream. An autopsy. The ruins of Europe behind us.

MAGIC PARTY PLACE maps the rise of the right in western societies through the prism of the post-industrial English landscape.

This is a fluid drama presented in space and time. The setting: the new town of Basildon, a constructed community, located 25 miles east of London.

The town is statistically average, socially conservative and voted overwhelmingly in favour of Brexit. Tracing the internal landscapes of it’s inhabitants, the work identifies a narrative of social and political dislocation within the towns sprawling and stratified housing estates.

Magic Party Place maps the psychopathology of the suburb, investigating a community which occupies the mainstream of society yet perceive themselves to have been pushed to the margins.
