The Little Sleep

A distinctly female take on the hard-boiled noir genre. Centred around a working kitchen, two performers unpick the structures of noir and sew them back up again whilst baking pies and stirring soups. Red herrings and pasties (or should that be patsies?) are also on the menu. Drawing inspiration from The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, Malcolm Pryce’s Aberystwyth novels and ‘PIE’ by Angela Boggiano, core Pigeon members Anna and Gill take a darkly unsentimental look at their shared history. The recipe includes paranoia, claustrophobia and grotesque-sexy movement.
