What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.

Mashed up queer fantasy of worker’s revolts, biblical demons and present-day hells, and dubbed out cyborg-electro.

Three different performances variously featuring: Fritz Welch, loud drums, guitar, local collaborators, paper, memories, Roland Barthes, string quartets
