KURSAAL AS HETEROTOPIC SPACE
0 JUNE 2014, 2 8.30PM FOR A 9PM START FREE ENTRY Upstairs at the Railway Hotel, Southend-on-Sea, www.railwayhotelsos.co.uk
GUEST DJ : “TWIG THE WONDER KID” (11 TILL 1AM)
The Kursaal was one of the world’s first amusement parks and the bank holiday destination for working Londoners between 1920s-1960s. During the 1970s it became a decaying music venue playing host to major rock acts. All that remains today is the Grade 2 listed main building with a distinctive stained glass dome. In this CCT event we approach the Kursaal as a ‘heterotopic’ space (Foucault, 1967) which holds up a mirror up to life in Southend; past and the present.
