An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
 
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
 
A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
 
Three intense solo performances for drums (both played and screamed through), cymbal, voice, credit card, bird whistle, and guitar amplifier/leads.
 
There exist places in our towns and cities that are created not by design, but by circumstance. Shadowed Spaces was a tour of overlooked, bypassed and unconsidered nooks and crannies with 3 musicians.
 
Ken presents his Nervous Magic Lantern, wherein film itself is forsaken for an investigation of hypnotic and trancelike crystaline forms. Eric La Casa works with recordings of everyday occurrences: the background hum of place.
 
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
 
Dual projections of pulsating shards of film, treated in crystallized salts and dyes merge with the whirring of projectors, distilled into particles of sound.
 
A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
 
A freestyle performed conversation for bodies and voices – with the Queen of Krump, the master of Vogue Femme Dramatics and the rising star of Vogue Women’s Performance.
 
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
 
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
