Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.

4 days of performances, discussions, workshops, screenings with mutant dancers, prison abolitionist poets, transfeminist revolutionaries, haunted noise, science fiction, sex worker resistance, crip erotics, radical pornography and militant fiction.
