Mysterious Mudfest

Reading the program for Mudfest 11 can be a little overwhelming. There are so many artists producing so much work all over campus. But there is even more to Mudfest then first meets the eye. Some artists have taken the festivals theme of “hidden spaces” to heart, and have hidden their art all over campus. “The really really hidden spaces are the most interesting” says Festival Director David Ryding. “The main part of one project is not advertised, and I reckon maybe only five people will see it. It’s about seeing the campus with different eyes”.

One project that will be hiding clues all over campus is Heist Production’s Mysterious Mysteries! Literally “Cludeo” without the board, Mysterious Mysteries! encourages the general public to engage with the characters, collect the clues, and solve the mystery through a mixture of roving street performance and improvised theatre. The case opens with a performance during Mudfest’s Opening Night party when a talented young actress falls to her death and a cast of crooked characters are implicated in her murder.

Keep you eyes on Mudmap for more information as the mystery unfolds.
