Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
Giants of the Japanese avant-rock scene Ruins are a hardcore prog rock bass + drums duo led by drummer extraordinaire Tatsuya Yoshida and joined in Dundee by Sasaki Hisashi.
A programme of discontinuity between narration, text and image. Including Manual Saiz’s employment of John Malkovich’s Spanish dubbing double and Peter Rose’s absurdly hilarious concrete poetry subtitling chaos.
Three panels offering opportunities to discuss how to build stronger alliances between the sex workers’ rights, migrants rights and reproductive justice movements and how to face, together, an increasingly punitive and reactionary system.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
A collaboration bringing together artists with a shared gravitational heft to their work; an intense and concentrated accumulation of detail and power.
Reading their letters to each other, and chatting about prefigurative politics as the practice of relentlessly building worlds through unspeakable violence and loss; of building worlds and living in them anyway.
Three intimate 45 minute sessions, reading your political questions – using Tarot, Palmistry, Reiki, Astrology, and Philosophy, and the invented methods of Fake and Political Therapy.
