A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
An open collaborative workshop space in which games, warm-up sessions, exercises and scenes are potentially the same thing, through which to project your own concerns onto the stage.
Edinburgh. Cask-strength electrohypnol and shroom damaged folk croonings by Lapsed Electronics empire builder.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
The Cube is a 6 hour performed installation in which sound and image are treated as independent but equal, where musicians and filmmakers sit alongside each other, improvise to and feed off both projected image and amplified and acoustic sound.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.

Two bottomless brunch writing workshops—with readings—speculating the relationship between space, infrastructure, technologies and sex.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”
