A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Ex Ganger guitarist’s solo performance for guitar and fx, featuring breathless processed guitar, complex in structure and melody.
For day one of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will take up protocols for listening to the sound of freedom composed and facilitated by George E. Lewis.
5 days of film, music, discussion and study of our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the colonial ordering of how we come to know the world—practicing how we might exist otherwise, right here and now. Can we start to know and practice the world to come?
In the Foyer at the Tramway we will screen a documentary from the Sex Workers’ Festival of Resistance 2017 and La Llamada by Eduardo Restrepo Castaño.
A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?
