This year is the 20th anniversary of David Lynch’s epic vision of dystopian middle America, ‘Twin Peaks’. The TV series is viewed by many as the show that changed everything. Heroes, Lost, and many others could only be made possible after the success of this surreal series. To celebrate this, Leeds based artist/curator Micheale Spessa, artist/filmmaker Dave Lynch and Emma Bearman are presenting one-off tribute event Fire Walk With Me at the architectural jewel known as Temple Works.
Temple Work’s frontage is a direct copy of an Egyptian Temple in Edfu, Egypt. The main space used to be the largest room in the world upon construction by the eccentric Victorian architect John Marshall. It is immediately evident that this building is a special place with a dark history surrounding the surreal; very apt for a Lynchian event such as this.
Not only will the event include burlesque, film, theatre, and acoustic live music, but organisers are also creating a small piece of Twin Peaks where parts of the film will be relived by the people present and broadcast to TVs scattered in each of the venues. The show’s Black lodge, Roadhouse and One Eyed Jacks will be recreated and located around the site to blur the boundaries between the real and surreal.
The Twin Peaks event is the company’s first fundraiser for PA equipment, which will be owned by a not-for-profit organisation rather than the privately owned Temple Works. They have no start-up budget and the organisers are giving all of their time for free.
The organisers want to hear from anyone inspired by Twin Peaks and David Lynch, including:-
- Filmmakers
- Artists-2D, 3D, performance installation, sound etc.
- Theatre performers
- Cabaret acts
- Musicians
- Pie-makers
- Look-a-likes
- Storytellers
- Contestants for the Trans-gender Miss Twin Peaks Competition
The deadline is 12th August 2010. Email submissions@firewalkwithme.co.uk for proposal forms or visit the website: http://www.firewalkwithme.co.uk/blog/be-involved/ to download.
Fire Walk With Me will take place at the Temple Works on Saturday 18th September.
