How we transformed the capital's landmarks into their edible counterparts for our 'All Time Best Cheap Eats' cover.
David Bower and Isolte Avila of the deaf and diasbled artist-led company Signdance Collective are something of Beckettian duo: as he pulls her tented form about the stage on a rope in 'Travelling', it's hard not to think of Rik Mayall and a particularly ecstatic Ruby Wax. You don't just get Bower and Avila's surreal humour and freeform 'signdance' moves, either. The pair perform in front of film projections to the accompaniment of Luke Barlow and two members of probably the most inspirational jazz group in Britain, Led Bib. 'Listen', an evocation of Bower's struggle with tinnitus isextraordinary. At first he raps incomprehensibly into a microphone as digital glitches and deconstructed sounds engulf him in a vortex of white noise. A garage band then fires up and he starts to fling himself around expressionistically, the spirit of Iggy Pop at his shoulder.
