Performance playtime during residency at Stryx, Birmingham in may 2023. Part of Pressure Cooker: Soup VI residency program. The Last Day was originally a studio based performance in 2012 utilising the man with a sugar cube for a head who was first performed at 'A Confidentially Clause' a long time ago in 2005.
The 2012 studio based version also became a digital still frame animation, A photographic print and a photograph / painting combination in 2020. This reincarnation for the residency at Stryx has the character trying to solve a puzzle version of his own image. The puzzle was completed during by the residency finish in June 2023, with a little help from friends..
