Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
A conversation about the movement for prison abolition and refusing the logic of race and sex that underpins the criminalisation and mass incarceration of communities.
To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
A conversation of intergenerational trans-resistance and anti-racist fierceness between two of the most inspiring public speakers we know.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
Edinburgh. Sinewave manipulating Giant Tank-ette goes head-to-head with Decaer Pinga’s first lady of noise.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
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.
