Title: Risk Assessment
Location: Various locations - daily between 2pm and 4pm
Jeremy Deller has worked with Folkestone residents and members of the Folkestone and Hythe Operatic and Dramatic Society on a series of unannounced daily performances based on seaside humour and the comic tradition of Buster Keaton, Jacques Tati and Norman Wisdom. Watch out for the absurd in the everyday and the blending slapstick and reality.
Translated text about each of the artworks into French, Turkish and Slovak can be found on the events page or from the visitor centre
