A film as a translation of Monique Wittig’s landmark feminist novel Les Guérillères, in which a plural protagonist of militant feminists inhabit a fantastical, enigmatic and hallucinatory miasmatic space-time of post Hurricane Maria Puerto Rico.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
Inhabiting a different kind of energy, Ueinzz’s open rehearsals reveal a glimpse into their ongoing daily theatrical modes of caring – multiplying the ways in which their plays are meant to be felt, rather than understood.
A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.

‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
