Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.

Mashed up queer fantasy of worker’s revolts, biblical demons and present-day hells, and dubbed out cyborg-electro.
