JUNE PROGRAMME

You may have recently seen the trailer for Paa Joe & the Lion on our cinema screens. We’re delighted to be supporting one of the many talented filmmakers based here at Broadway, Benjamin Wigley of Artdocs, by introducing our audiences to the fascinating story of Ghanaian craftsman Paa Joe, the Grandfather of the fantasy coffin trade.

Paa Joe & the Lion is Benjamin Wigley’s first feature documentary and explores the vibrant history of the Ga culture, its attitude to death and the conflict between art and craft, told through Paa Joe’s story.

Throughout May, Paa Joe is in residency at Clumber Park in north Nottinghamshire, where he is building his trademark lion coffin. You are all encouraged to visit to watch Paa Joe work and then celebrate the culmination of his residency - with dance, theatre and music from Sabar Soundsystem as the lion coffin is transported into the land of the afterlife - at the big finale on Saturday 1 June. The project and residency were recently features in The Independent http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features/fantasy-coffins-meet-the-man-who-puts-the-fun-into-funereal-8606219.html

Paa Joe & the Lion is Benjamin Wigley’s follow-up to his award-winning short PS Your Mystery Sender, the story of Nottingham-born fashion legend Sir Paul Smith and the quirky and inspiring items sent to him anonymously over the past 20 years.
