Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Three intense solo performances for drums (both played and screamed through), cymbal, voice, credit card, bird whistle, and guitar amplifier/leads.

A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
Hartmut is going to talk a little about his work at large and the politics of how his films are constructed. And we’ll screen one of his best films: B-52.

Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
