Presented by Stan's Cafe

Three cardinals set-out to deliver a puppet show to explain the history of religion.

The premise is preposterous and the outcome chaotic, poignant and hilarious. Long before ’The Play That Went Wrong’ and in the tradition of the National Theatre of Brent, The Cardinals is a beautiful, comic masterpiece.

Associate Artists Stan’s Cafe have a long and storied career; The Cardinals is their most-requested work and has toured the world to huge acclaim. Remounted for Gulbenkian as a part of their Associate Artist residency, this is a rare chance to see a legendary piece of comic theatre.

Absolutely not to be missed. Swear to God.

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
