An open conversation around the history and practices of the Ueinzz Theatre Company – a radical Brazilian schizoscenic theatre company of carers, so-called psychotic patients and philosophers.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
Thought and action, writing and protesting. A chat with Nat Raha, KUCHENGA and Jackie Wang asking what can be learnt from writing across genres by agitators, activists and abolitionists?
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
A festival asking how ideas of nihilism, darkness, subjectivity and abjection play out in experimental music, performance art, horror, neuroscience and philosophy?
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
Laser beam sine tones used to draw delicate, abstract patterns by vibrating charcoal, placed atop of a great strip of paper running through the gallery; beautiful, fragile sound-created autonomous drawing.
