Lullaby for Scavengers.
A lullaby is a soothing song.
Scavengers eat dead animals.
Kim Noble’s ex-lover and co-host is an angry dead squirrel.
The angry dead squirrel can talk.
The piece is quite funny.
The piece is about grand feelings.
For example, people’s fear of loneliness.
It is also about our wishes and dreams.
Kim Noble is an English cult comedian/artist.
He lived in a sewer and in a tree.
He got a very important theatre award in England.
His performances are humorous, but the squirrel doesn’t think so.
The performances are also about serious things.
Like death and friendship.
Kim Noble (UK, he/him) is an award winning comedic performance and video artist.
His multi-disciplined approach has led him to work across theatre, TV, film, art and comedy.
He was one one half of Perrier Award-winning, BAFTA-nominated experimental art-comedy duo Noble and Silver. In 2017 Noble started a residency trajectory at CAMPO. In this context, in 2018 Kim Noble created the live radio performance Wild Life FM together with director Pol Heyvaert and musician Jakob Ampe, and in 2020 he created the performance Lullaby For Scavengers, the final part of his trilogy about loneliness and friendship. Lullaby for Scavengers got selected for Het TheaterFestival 2022 and was described by The Guardian and De Standaard as one of the best theatre performances of the year.
Kim’s work uses a provocative and humourous style to expose the human condition: notions of death, sexuality, gender and religion are picked at with dry comedic use of tragedy meshed with absurdity. He has a girls name and no longer smells of wee.
