MEMOIRS OF MUD

“I was forgiven and forgotten , in this world so rotten, Dropping like a hot potato, don’t call me a tomato.”

‘Fake Fucking Farmers’ as they are formally known as, are a country church electronic performance art duo. Together their world is provocative, playful, bold and beautiful. It is filled with dirt, glitter, ginger antlers and potato DJ’s and they quite literally bring personified veg to the table..

 ‘Memoirs of Mud’ their debut show, is a comedic yet touching tale of two ladies exploring their place in the polarity of our sanitised and natural world. Together they squelch through muddy terrain experiencing life’s diverse and juicy palette. Through personal, shared and recreated memories they celebrate the absurdity of it all as well as taking on huge questions such as, ‘who needs a Ferrari when you look hot in a tractor…?’
