Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
How do we make the connections between the mutual aid practices of our daily lives and anti-capitalist efforts to dismantle wider systems of exploitation?

Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
The Scottish based Paragon Ensemble has commissioned David Fennessy to compose music for Instal, which will be performed during the evening.
