A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.

A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
For this one off performance Vibracathedral Orchestra are joined by Matthew Bower and John Godbert from mighty UK heavy/drone/psych free-noise behemoths Skullfower, Sunroof! and Total.
Reading their letters to each other, and chatting about prefigurative politics as the practice of relentlessly building worlds through unspeakable violence and loss; of building worlds and living in them anyway.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
