A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
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”.
Conceptual choreography as critique, in Ligia’s film of Caribbean plots and scandals, and the possibilities of anti-colonial revenge, rest and repair.
One of the most influential groups in improvised music, with the collective understanding that comes from listening keenly to each other for decades
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
Bruno’s liberated improvisational approach stretches beyond the lyrical, tough as nails rhythmic bursts and expressive, swinging attack of his drumming.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
A performance of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
Ex Ganger guitarist’s solo performance for guitar and fx, featuring breathless processed guitar, complex in structure and melody.
