The Walking                        Early morning until nightfall

 

Love and Death Parade       3.00

 

Performance and parade

Robert Booth and team

 

As Love & Death began, so it comes to a close. This time the part ritual, part manufacture and part recobstruction of The Walking starts with the carving of a bluestone from the hills of Pembrokeshire, of the kind that were carried to Stonehenge more than a hundred generations ago. After a memorial procession in which the stone is carried from central Bath to Walcot Chapel (along the original line of those ancient journeys) it is anointed in molten bronze in a closing ceremony of remembrance of those who have walked this way before.

 

The procession -or what we prefer to call the Love& Death Parade- features a marching band and invites both spontaneous (and pre-planned) interventions. it coincides with an Open Day on Walcot Street.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Street events still to be scheduled

 

Dead Book of Bad Memory

 

Eunju Hitchcock-Yoo takes a portable video projector to the streets to project her walks onto the walls of Bath. Her video mural presents the ceremonial movements of warding off  bad memories and bad luck. It adapts the formats of ancient murals and funeral rites. The work was provoked by the death of a friend at university, but the mood is energetic and positive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Catherine's Portable Blessings Shrine

 

Catherine Phelps sets up her portable blessing shrine around Bath, with the modest ambition to leave people she encounters a little happier than they were before she met them.
