About Mischief La-Bas
Established in 1992, Mischief La-Bas deliver surprise, humour and imaginative engagement in their outdoor performances. Their mission to ‘gently warp the underlay of the fabric of society’ has been developed over twenty years by successfully producing strange but accessible work in a multitude of environments, almost invariably to the public in public places. They welcome commissions for one-off events and mid to large-scale outdoor theatrical experiences.
Mischief La-Bas and MSL Projects Presents - In Association with Radiator Arts, UZ Arts and In Situ
Nursery Crymes is a unique night-time experience exploring the dark themes behind children's rhymes and stories.
An outdoor journey through Mother Goose's forest and beyond to encounter installations, performances, sound works, projections, film and some twisted versions of well-known fairytale characters.
Mischief La-Bas, aided and abetted by artists of all disciplines, explores the sinister side of nursery rhymes – the ideas of authority, morality and social indoctrination underpinning these simple stories for children. If the message is sung so sweetly, do we even notice the crime? Do we ever learn to question these early life lessons?
Nursery Crymes was premiered in Glasgow in November 2017 to critical acclaim and is available for touring.
Artists include Liz Aggiss, Fiona Robertson, Mischief La-Bas, Dav Bernard, Glass Performance and Junction 25.
