Dir: Maurizio Lazzarato & Angela Melitopoulos
A filmic constellation exploring Felix Guattari’s anti-patriarchal, anti-colonialist, anti-psychiatric, animist ideas of care and the self. And an Introduction to the Episode.
In Ramayya’s visionary poetry, the body assumes as many forms as love produces states: attraction and repulsion, excitement and exhaustion, selfishness and the dissolution of self.
A simple, gracefully bold set-up to allow Loïc to trace connections: of comments upon comments upon comments, of sounds next to sounds next to sounds.
Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
A collaborative duo performance, Anoyonodekigoto sets up a sort of negotiation between a musician, a dancer, the audience and the space we’re all sharing.
A queer black operatic requiem for piano and voice that asks us to stay in the hold of the slave ship, that tries to understand the connection from the slave ship to the prison.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
