Cryptic presents...

these delicate things

Directed and designed by Josh Armstrong

Following Josh Armstrong’s highly-acclaimed performances of Little Match Girl Passion, Cryptic presents these delicate things – a multi-disciplinary performance in two acts, inspired by the life of compelling photographer Francesca Woodman.

“I was inventing a language for people to see the everyday things that I also see… and show them something different…” Francesca Woodman

Featuring Gavin Bryars’ String Quartet No.2 and Dimitri Shostakovich’s rarely heard String Quartet No.15, performed by The Astrid String Quartet; these bare and fragile works frame the movement of dancers Penny Chivas, Sally Owen and Michael Popper, capturing a haunting picture which complements Woodman’s striking yet destructive creativity.

Beautiful and moving, Armstrong’s work is an emotive meditation on mortality, challenging us to contemplate our own reflections. As they fade and disappear, it seems that only our memories remain…
