Organised by Twiggy Pucci Garcon and Pony Zion, The Masters Ball focuses on the work of 50 individuals designated within the scene as ‘masters’ in their respective performance categories, which include Vogue, Runway, and Face.
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…

A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
