Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
Blissed-out sun-dappled drone ragas of the highest order, with a metal-tinged signature sound of plucked and bowed strings.
Amid the blur of erotics, the jangle of poetics, and the fetishizing of sickness and disability, the heat of Panteha’s performance and sculpture freezes all.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
A collaboration bringing together artists with a shared gravitational heft to their work; an intense and concentrated accumulation of detail and power.
Italian duo of brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio utilising an array of acoustic and electric guitars, various toy-instruments and toy-microphones.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
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.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
A 3-day exploration – through performance, screenings and discussion – of the art and politics of wayward communities who refuse to be bound by the fictions of race and sex.
