Mmmm cheerful stuff at the Southbank Centre for all those wallowing in the new year blues this January.

Highlights include crazy coffins from Ghana, a puppet show about the death of a guinea pig, a performance piece commemorating the now extinct Javanese Tiger, and a pop-up from the ever-brilliant Poetry Takeaway.
Until 30.01.12.
