A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
Three iconic figures from the Japanese underground assembled as a trio to stand in for the advertised duo of Junko and Jerome Noetinger who was unable to attend the festival due to illness.
First in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. Does work that asks us to be attentive to the needs of others force us to sell our capacity for kindness?

A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
