Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.

The weeks previous TLRS daily radio shows, after-hours conversations, radio booths and special guests reassembled as a live electroacoustic performance.
A speculative narrative film informed by poetry and theories of quantum entanglement across diasporic distance. An intimate exploration of grief and resistance in shifting landscapes of loss, from the streets to the bed.

A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
