Romantics, Mystics & Revolutionaries – Pete the Temp
The Romantic movement rose as an act of defiance — against empire, industry, and the mechanisation of the soul.
This performance lecture blends scholarship with comedy, and poetry to conjure a spellbinding history of mysticism, sedition and psychedelic testing.
What might these dreams of freedom and renewal offer our age of despair? Expect reverence, resistance, and wild imagination in this dramatic and engaging story.
Pete Bearder is an award-winning spoken word poet, author, and comic whose work has featured on BBC Radio 4, Newsnight, and the World Service.
“Pete’s ability to connect with people is unique and intoxicating — a highlight of the Lyra Bristol Poetry Festival.”— Lyra Poetry Festival
