Barnaby Festival – Bedwyr in Town

By Editor on April 13, 2016

Bedwyr in Town Filming FLEXURE!
A technologically challenged hypnotist becomes hooked on his own self-hypnosis tapes and enters another time and space, a place of familiar Macclesfield landmarks and a well-known local yoga teacher. Acclaimed artist Bedwyr Williams will be in Macclesfield this month and also joining us for the next open meeting on Wednesday 27 April from 8pm at MADS Theatre, Lord Street. Everyone is welcome and it’s an opportunity to sign up as a steward at events or exhibitions and become a Barnabist!

Here’s a video from Bedwyr Williams about The Starry Messenger.
First shown at the Venice Biennale in 2013 and The Whitworth, Manchester this year.
We can’t wait to see the Barnaby commission ‘Flexure’.
