Edinburgh. Nigh-inaudible improv jams with disabled instruments from the makers of Giant Tank and Pizza Boy Delivery.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Reveling in the geometric, mathematical and perceptual relationship between sound and form, this programme features a landmark work of experimental film in Kubelka’s Arnulf Rainer; a complex, enduring and expressive of structuralist or flicker films.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
