The Synchrocrispettes

Old Star & Shadow Cinema

Newcastle upon Tyne

The Synchrocrispettes are a synchronised crisp eating band.  They first performed Synchrocrispicity at the old Star & Shadow cinema in 2014.  In this piece the band eat a bag of ready salted crisps in synchronisation with each other.  The opportunity to join in was extended to the audience  – with people receiving a bag of crisps and eating them in synchronisation with the band. A film of the Synchrocripsettes performing Synchrocrispicity was made in 2014.
