Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
An assembly to try and provide some experiential and theoretical resources for the renewal of a certain affective, extra-political sociality, in the face of one of our great adversaries; the forces of colonial, imperial, genocidal denial.
Sound as it is endured by space and the body: 15 participants lie face down and pound the floor with a microphone one thousand times, each person choosing their own rhythm and intensity.
