A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Whether drawing their own fractured, abstract narrative, or re-contextualising, chewing up and spitting out someone else’s, each of the films here take a dramatic arc as their starting point and throw it to the wind.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.

Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
Captures the creak and rustle of the forest, with an exhilarating tension let loose in unconfined maniacal and bare-knuckle group thinking.
A programme of discontinuity between narration, text and image. Including Manual Saiz’s employment of John Malkovich’s Spanish dubbing double and Peter Rose’s absurdly hilarious concrete poetry subtitling chaos.
A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
