About this event

"Touch, 4 Spoons Holding The Chair Akimbo" Years in the making - this is the first, and first daytime show, of 4 shows developed in the Reggie Watts x Capyac playthecube week long residency at The Cube Microplex - open to children, but not a kids' show The wildly improvisational comic, musician and actor phenomena that is REGGIE WATTS ( https://www.reggie-watts.com/ ) and the Lil Rascals that are the Californian absurdly funky and trippy trio CAPYAC ( https://www.capyac.com ) will be in residence with the Microplex for a week. These most wonderful and unusual of international sensations, these real time audio visual sidesplitters are here to riff with The Cube - it’s workforce, it’s gear and it’s community. Together we will create 4 shows, each one different but with colourful portals and cunning asides that will melt the whole variety show together. Four shows but many moving parts. Heads up - each show might contain skits, songs, levitating goats, walkabout, disco-ordinated djs, impromptu audience participation, scratch orchestras & dancing. Reggie has been a longtime returning satellite to the Cube, with the run up to this residency being years in the making. CAPYAC visited the volunteer run art-space in 2024 and are bang into the whole funk infused concept. With a team of Cubic collaborators and special guests they are going to have an access-all-areas pass to the Microplex’s stage, trapdoors and infrastructure to send The Cube into bright novel territories at each performance. It’s your chance to bear witness. A limited edition, once in a lifetime opportunity. Unless time is really a loop and we spiral into crazy dimensions. "From the moment I first experienced the Cube Microplex, I couldn’t stop imagining myself making something in that space. That’s why this residency excites me so much. The chance to gather a group of like-minded artists, weave in the Bristol community, and create something fun and of the moment that truly resonates where it lives. To be par
