1976 The Excretia Show

Our first touring show. Many of our early shows had versions and permutations for all the different places we were asked to perform at and in. These could be pubs, clubs, streets, shopping precincts, the emerging alternative fairs and festivals, galleries and art centres. The picture shows us at the only just opened and then completely empty St Edmunds Church, now Salisbury Arts Centre. This piece, continuing our interest in insect life-forms and mechanisms, was about a loud & persistent mess-making Life Form and his drab Council Cleaner companion evolved entirely to tidy up behind him.
