Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
A community of those without community, for a community to come. A schizo-scenic video-collage of the disturbing ‘normality’ of Moby Dick.
How might two of the great musicians working within contrasting traditions of freedom collaborate? What might this produce: musically, socially, allegorically?
Reading their letters to each other, and chatting about prefigurative politics as the practice of relentlessly building worlds through unspeakable violence and loss; of building worlds and living in them anyway.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
Italian duo of brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio utilising an array of acoustic and electric guitars, various toy-instruments and toy-microphones.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
A panel exploring the poetics of abolition. “Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change.”
