Welcome to your guide to all that Chapter has in store this June.
Would you let a group of children give you a makeover? No? We’ll be
hosting the remarkable Fashion Machine (p10–11) this month, a
theatrical spectacle, for the brave and the curious, courtesy of Skam
Theatre. Theatre Seligman will be the setting for some gorgeous acts
from the Festival of Voice (p12–13), including Dybbuk: Momus Sings
Bowie.
Over in our cinema, we’ll be indulging in some gorgeous films,
from a Studio Ghibli Retrospective (p26) to our second Italian Film
Festival Cardiff Taster (p24).
And, last but not least... We wouldn’t normally screen the
European Championships, but then it’s not every day that Wales are
in such a major tournament! Allez Les Gallois! is our festival of
European football, beers and street food. Jeremy from Ffwrnes tells
us a bit more here, and turn to page 8 to find out full details. Thanks
for reading and see you soon.

We’re looking forward to taking part in ‘Allez Les Gallois!’,
a festival of European football, beers and street food, as
Wales return to the European Championships after a 56
year absence from any major tournament. We were
approached by Chapter, and have since managed to
bring along some friends, like Mr Croquewich, Little Blue
Ox and Got Beef, amongst others. All the street food
vendors have a distinct European flavour, and will be
offering specials during the week. As one half of Ffwrnes,
a wood fired pizza company, I absolutely love being part
of the street food revolution here in Cardiff. What makes
street food special? For me, it’s the fact that all of us
who do it produce our one dish or one food genre really
really well. It’s affordable and fun — people can try
dishes they wouldn’t normally try, away from the
trappings of a restaurant. See you soon for a slice of
pizza, pint and plenty of Wales Euro wins. C’mon Cymru!

ART IN THE BAR
STEVEN SHEARER:
SORRY STEVE
Fri 18 Mar — Sun 19 June
Sorry Steve (1999) is a scrawled, hand written note
which has been enlarged in scale until it is elevated
into a statement. It is intentionally provocative in its
presentation as the voice in the text places itself in a
position of power over ‘Steve’.
Shearer’s text works, or ‘poems’ as he describes
them, explore how language and conversations
which we perceive as fleeting can be retained and
elevated into collective consciousness. This work
forms part of an archive of texts, lyrics and
statements which look at issues around alienation,
isolation and how hierarchies can be enforced
through language.
In his wider practice, Shearer works across a range of
media, creating installations that combine elements
of drawing, painting, photography, collage and text.
His work explores what lies beneath the public view
and takes a closer look at youth subcultures and
uncelebrated cultural movements. By positioning this
statement in Chapter’s Caffi Bar it invites us to
question the nature of high and low culture and who
make the choices.
About Steven Shearer
Steven Shearer was born in New Westminster,
Canada in 1968. He now lives and works in Vancouver.
He has exhibited internationally with solo exhibitions
at Charles Riva Collection, Belgium; the Galerie Eva
Presenhuber in Zurich; National Gallery of Canada,
Ottawa, Canada; The New Museum and the Barbara
Gladstone Gallery, New York; IKON Gallery, Birmingham;
and the Renaissance Society in Chicago. In 2011 he
was selected to represent Canada at the 54th Venice
Biennale.

For the first week of the European Championships,
we’ll be marrying football with our love of fine food
and drink, and inviting you to our very own football–
themed pan–European beer and street food party!
Stiwdio Seligman will be transformed into an
awesome amalgamation of British pub, German
bierkeller, French brasserie and Spanish cantina,
from which we aim to serve you beer from every
country in the tournament! The final beer list has not
yet been confirmed, but expect the likes of Einstok
Arctic Berry Witbier from Iceland, Gotland Wispy Pils
from Sweden, Westmalle Dubbel Trappist from
Belgium, and Hopfenkonig Lager from Austria
(needless to say we’ll have some local cwrw too). And
whilst your tastebuds are taking a roadtrip around
The Bug Club, ChapterLive

It’s been a long time coming. A long, long time.
Not since the 1958 World Cup has Wales been
represented at an international football tournament.
Now that the Welsh team has broken the curse and
finally qualified, surely nothing will stand between
them and ultimate glory? Surely Ashley Williams will
be lifting the trophy on high come the 10th July?
Surely Cardiff’s own Gareth Bale will net a hattrick
against England? Well… maybe. However the
tournament plays out, we’re sure you’ll agree that
this is a bit of a landmark in Welsh sporting culture,
and worthy of celebration. And that is just what we
are going to do…

the continent, you can sit back and watch every
match of the first week of the tournament on our
massive indoor screen, including Wales’ first two
games (against Slovakia on Saturday 11 June, and…
wait for it… England on Thursday 16 June). We’re
going to combine an incredible array of European
beers with a unique football–viewing experience, and
we hope you’ll join us for the ride!
And what if you get peckish whilst partaking in this
festival of football and brewing prowess? Well, we
thought we’d bring the best in local street food to the
doorstep! Directly outside of Stiwdio Seligman we will
be hosting a street food party to satisfy all tastes.
Vendors joining us include Ffwrnes Pizza, offering
artisan pizzas from their Piaggio Ape 3–wheeler;
chicken wing pop–up pharaohs of flavour,
Wing–Innit; an authentic taste of Americana from
Little Blue Ox; delicious sweet and savoury treats
from Holy Crêpe; authentic Welsh burgers courtesy of
Got Beef; grilled cheese wonders from Mr Croquewich;
refreshing and exotic ice creams from Dixie’s Vintage
Ices; and vegan delights from Chapter’s own kitchen.
Expect more culinary treats to be announced too!
So whether you’re a fan of the beautiful game, an
intrepid foodie, or an adventurous cerevisaphile, or
all of the above, we’re sure you’re going to love this
newest addition to Chapter’s festival calendar.

Festival of Voice
Festival of Voice is a new international festival in Cardiff 3 — 12 June 2016. Created by Wales Millennium
Centre and supported by Colwinston Charitable Trust Arts, Arts Council of Wales and Cardiff Council.
Georgia
+ support from Summer Ghost
Fri 3 June 8pm
Georgia Barnes is as believable a sensual soul-bearer
as she is raucous provocateur, multi-instrumentalist,
producer and songwriter.
Born and raised in north–west London, Georgia has
steadily established herself as an important fixture in
the city’s most singular and imaginative artistic
circles, playing drums for Kwes and Kate Tempest
among others. Gradually stepping out from behind
the drums, she emerged as an irresistible creative
force in her own right with 2014’s Come In EP.
Influenced by artists such as Missy Elliot, MIA
and Karin Dreijer Andersson, Georgia’s debut album —
Georgia — marks her out as an immaculate curator,
distinctive songwriter and self–taught producer
of soulful, progressive and highly–defined
electronic pop.

Join international artist Sianed Jones for an evening
of virtuosic vocals and violin playing. Sianed has
worked as a composer, performer and collaborator
with a vast array of artists from different disciplines
and cultures, ranging from choreographers and
theatre practitioners to writers and film makers.
Following an upbringing steeped in the choral and
poetic traditions of Wales, her research into vocal
techniques has taken her to Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania,
Madagascar, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
Whilst her composition and performance bears the
influences and musical curiosity of her travels, the
heart of her music is uniquely her own.

Nikolai Galen sings
Jacques Brel
Sat 4 June 8.30pm
Former frontman of The Shrubs, Nick Hobbs, better
known these days as Nikolai Galen, performs an
interpretation of Jacques Brel’s work. Considered a
master of the modern chanson, Jacques Brel
recorded more than 120 of his own songs, becoming
one of the most popular singers of French songs and
a major influence in the wider music world. A free–
improvising performer known for exploring the very
limits of the voice, Istanbul–based Galen will use his
own translations and perform a capella to allow the
texts to stand on their own. Some of the songs
remain close to Brel’s, some not; some float between
music and speech, between singing and acting, just
as the texts float between lyrics and poetry, between
music and literature.
Galen’s Festival of Voice appearance coincides with
the release of a new album capturing his unique
adaptation of Brel’s work, Songs From The Low Lands.

Slowly Rolling Camera
Thu 9 June 8pm
Considered to be one of the leading lights of the “nu–
soul”/electro groove genre. Currently making a
significant impact on the UK and European music
scenes their original and imaginative compositions
fuse jazz, soul, trip hop and electronic music to
create a truly unique musical soundscape. Their
critically–acclaimed eponymous debut album,
released on Edition records in February last year,
brilliantly captures the impact of their live gigs, with
All About Jazz commenting “It’s beautiful, imaginative
and ambitious”. Their latest EP, “Into the Distance”
continues this lush aural trajectory, evoking
comparisons to iconic groups such as Portishead,
and Massive Attack.

Dybbuk: Momus Sings Bowie
VERITY STANDEN IN ASSOCIATION WITH
TOBACCO FACTORY THEATRES
David Bowie is the cultural figure without whom
Momus (and many other artists) simply wouldn’t have
existed. Like the dybbuk of Jewish mythology, Bowie
was a sum of stolen souls, a collection of all the
most impressive gestures and talents of cultural
figures he’d encountered and been smitten by. In his
Dybbuk cabaret Momus presents an unashamedly
dark and leftfield take on Bowie’s work,
concentrating on the early cabaret work, the demos,
the flickering shadows of Brecht and Brel, the avant–
garde and eccentric moments, the symphonic poems.
Songs Bowie never performed live himself are
unfurled in unexpected yet faithful new readings,
accompanied by video projections showing the many
imitators whose souls the great dybbuk so
wonderfully spirited away.
Momus aka Nick Currie is an author, art–critic,
professional thinker, blogger, singer and songwriter
supreme. An early stalwart of the Creation Records
label, Momus has, over the last 25 years, released
almost as many albums, all of them innovative,
intriguing, atypical and perverse.

One moment a fragile apology, the next a perilous trip
to a train buffet car… Verity Standen’s original a
cappella songs evoke the awkward, heartrending and
hilarious moments that characterise what it means to
be human.

By Neil Labute
Tue 21 June 7.30pm
Gravity. Interstellar. 2001. What do these
award–winning films have in common?
Visionary directors have created all three
and none of them are particularly funny.
With stunning 3D actors and minimal
special effects, this three–hand comedy
is sure to be the complete opposite.
Combining live performance and video
design, Oddity charts the journey of three
unconventional astronauts as they
embark on their mission to Mars. With a
series of flashbacks and riotously devised
action, we witness the progression
towards a tense climax; two minutes
before the oxygen runs out.

It’s Verona 1963 and it’s the annual college Boat
Race, the high society courtship event for the rich,
beautiful and perfectly coiffed. Times are turbulent,
so you’ll need to really support your house, whether it
be Montague or Capulet, as they battle it out on the
river.
A new take on a very old tale — you can expect to see
Taking Flight’s signature traits — exciting visual
theatre with live original music and plenty of comedy.
All performances feature BSL by Sami Thorpe and live
audio description. This is promenade performance —
it moves around and you move with it.
The boat race will take place come rain or shine —
just bring your brolly and wrap up warm.
Romeo & Juliet will tour all over Wales, in beautiful
outdoor spaces. 2016 marks 400 years of

After losing his wife in a car accident, Davis
finds it impossible to make sense of his loss and
begins to unravel. In a moment of misdirected
anger, he writes a complaint to a vending machine
company, catching the attention of customer
service rep Karen and it inspires an unlikely
connection. Both physically and emotionally
demolishing the life he once had, Davis starts to
rebuild himself and his world from the inside out.
Growing up poor in Madras, India, Srinivasa
Ramanujan Iyengar earns admittance to Cambridge
University during World War I, armed with a meagre
education but two notebooks crammed with theories
and formulas. Under the guidance of Professor G.H.
Hardy he demonstrates that genius, unlike the
universe, is sometimes unexplainable.

NT Encore: The Audience
Thu 9 June
Dir: Stephen Daldry. With: Helen Mirren.
For sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve
Prime Ministers in a private, weekly audience at
Buckingham Palace. Both parties have an unspoken
agreement never to repeat what is said, not even to
their spouses. Breaking this contract of silence, The
Audience imagines a series of pivotal meetings, from
Churchill to Cameron. Each Prime Minister has used
these private conversations as a sounding board and
a confessional — sometimes intimate, sometimes
explosive. Charting her life from young mother to
grandmother, politicians come and go while she
remains constant, waiting to welcome her next Prime
Minister.
