There's a russian family in town, staying for the next three weeks at the Hackney Empire. The father is a drunkard who's constantly tormented by his four bratty kids. The mother is a horny, heavily-pregnant tenament matron who spends half her time craving the disco and the other half trying to stop her husband abandomning the family.

People are known to visit this exotic family at the Empire. Adults laugh, swept up by the antics of these white-faced mutes. Children laugh, caught off-guard. (You mean there's something to the world other than videogames and TV?) Some of them may even want to grow up one day and be a clown.

When this russian family get bored of each other they turn their attention on us, the guests. They throw water and beer on our heads, hit anything that moves with pillows, tease some into answering the phone, grab and hug for long soppy kisses. Adults stand up to cheer before they leave the Empire. Children get carried away and re-charged, muttering under their breaths that it's the most wicked thing they have ever seen.

Hadron Collider: children and adults laughing together.
