An open conversation around the history and practices of the Ueinzz Theatre Company – a radical Brazilian schizoscenic theatre company of carers, so-called psychotic patients and philosophers.
One of the most influential groups in improvised music, with the collective understanding that comes from listening keenly to each other for decades
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
Inhabiting a different kind of energy, Ueinzz’s open rehearsals reveal a glimpse into their ongoing daily theatrical modes of caring – multiplying the ways in which their plays are meant to be felt, rather than understood.
Ecstatic, intensely joyous experimental club music: like “the sound of our water ceremonies…40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora and the call of the morning star Venus”.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
A workshop inviting participants to enact a series of scores that explore witnessing, testimony, grief and mourning, facilitated by Mezna and Sadia, and accompanied by Sakina Ali.

A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
