As many of you may know, on the last Friday of every month, the Victoria and Albert Museum stays open past closing hours till 10pm, and holds an event known as ‘Friday Late at the V&A’. These are topical themed evenings with wonderful performances, Dj’s and a bar where you are invited to run amock through the hallowed halls of the V&A.
Now this Friday at the V&A [tonight] promises to be a masterpiece of the genre as the V&A invites you to join them on the eve of Halloween for ‘In the Dead of Night.’
An evening of performance, screenings and unnerving tales as the V&A explores figures of folklore both east and west. You are invited to witness the Dine with Death promenade performance created by highly acclaimed set designer, Simon Costin.
Explore the history of the vampire through film and learn how to create your own un-dead look! Unearth ritual and magic during the witch hunts and rediscover fairytale figures with shadow puppet performance and a collaborative block printing workshop.
Uncover the roots of Japanese horror with tales of spirits and possession through curator-led tours and screenings in a newly installed mask display and create your own Japanese lantern. See the full list of events here. Sounds like it will be an AMAZING evening! Admission is free!
