A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Offering a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves. Expect fire and a little bit of smoke. Concluding with a D/deaf centered social space with conversational interpreters available for those who do not speak ASL.
Organised by Twiggy Pucci Garcon and Pony Zion, The Masters Ball focuses on the work of 50 individuals designated within the scene as ‘masters’ in their respective performance categories, which include Vogue, Runway, and Face.

Performances at St Giles in the Fields, London by Jandek, Rhodri Davies & Angharad Davies, Rauhan Orkesteri.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
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.
What happens when you are engaged in a deep and extended artistic practice that intersects between literature and music, notation and improvisation, sight and sound?
