The November 2007 show took place during Birmingham’s Gigbeth festival at The Rainbow Warehouse, Digbeth. It reflected the diversity of the Gigbeth festival itself by featuring all manner of media and performance. Unlike the separate genre specific gigs that formed the Gigbeth festival, the Project X Presents show mixed together many styles within one continuous stream of entertainment across three stages. The Project X Presents show could be termed a festival in itself. The phrase “omnimedia” experience was also used to describe the evening.
Birmingham Post: “…with a disturbing, lurching assault on the senses, Project X is an intelligent and unique show destabilising the established role of the “spectator” in performance theatre and drawing you into an impressively eclectic and complex mix of art forms”.
