ERNEST AND THE PALE MOON

THEATRE inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Alfred Hitchcock is at The Berry Theatre tonight.

Ernest and the Pale Moon is a spine-chilling tale of obsession and murder from Les Enfants Terribles, the award-winning Theatre Company behind shows The Tr ench and The Te rrible Infants.

Ernest spends his days watching the beautiful young woman who lives in the apartment opposite.

When he sees her with another man he is thrown into a jealous rage and driven to murder, though all is not what it may at first seem and slowly Ernest’s guilt sends him on a spiralling descent into madness.

The piece contains narrative twists and turns, live music, inventive design and physical storytelling to provide a thrilling and terrifying experience and has been developed in association with Pins and Needles Productions.

DOGS DON’T DO BALLET

BIFF is not like ordinary dogs. He likes moonlight.

And music. And walking on his tiptoes.You see, Biff doesn’t think he’s a dog, Biff thinks he’s a ballerina… The sublime and the ridiculous combine in this hilarious story of a small dog with a big personality and even bigger dreams, brought to life by Little Angel Theatre using beautiful puppets, wellloved ballet music and dazzling comedy.

Dogs Don’t Do Ballet is at Winchester Discovery Centre on Sunday and is recommended for ages two plus.

KAKATSITSI

WITH their roots in the fishing community of Jamestown, Kakatsitsi’s music takes rhythms and chants from the Ga tradition and combines them with music from other West African cultures in a modern and accessible way.

An evening of traditional West African drumming, dance and singing at Ashcroft Arts Centre in Fareham on Thursday is an enchanting display of the Ghanian musical tradition featuring some the country’s best performing artists.

The Kakastisti are becoming wellrespected in the UK with 11 tours over the last 15 years. Their latest project culminated in a prime slot on the West Holts stage at Glastonbury 2013 with The Orb, performing a world music/elecronica fusion set.
