The Irrepressibles + Gabby Young And Other Animals

An extravagant evening of visual and sonic flamboyance as part of the Barbican's Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion exhibition and Disruption: A Fashion Performance. Led by composer and artist Jamie McDermott, The Irrepressibles are a 10-piece 'performance orchestra' fusing classical orchestrations with pop melodies and soaring vocals. Using conceptual sets and a team of artists from dance, avant-garde costume and make-up, the collective bring McDermott's songs to life, creating an extraordinary live spectacle. Engagingly eccentric, dramatic and flamboyant 'circus swing' and lounge-pop in support.
