Originally billed as a duo of Ingar Zach and Derek Bailey, John Butcher stood in for Bailey at the last minute.

The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
John Butcher plays and manipulates a feeding back saxophone. Benedict Drew on electronics, broken cables and standing waves.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
