Description

Exceptional and Extraordinary: unruly bodies and minds in the medical museum.

Acclaimed artists take over the Royal College of Physicians, home to medicine for almost 500 years, to bring their provocative visions to the fore in the first of two special events.

Embark on an extraordinary theatrical journey with Julie McNamara as she delves museum collections to tell stories of ‘the mad, the bad and the unruly’in Hold The Hearse! While David Hevey’s exceptional new film ‘The fight for life’ explores the precarious and hostile world facing many disabled people today.

There’s an exclusive opportunity to view a re-staging of the museum’s highly-praised exhibition ‘Re-framing disability: portraits from the Royal College of Physicians’, winner of the Ability Media International award.

Also in the programme: a drinks reception, panel discussion with performers and invited experts, and the chance to handle a selection of the exceptional objects that have inspired these extraordinary new works of art.

A truly unruly and unique experience.
