One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
Kanta is a young Japanese artist with a home-made, short circuited take on electronics and physical phenomena which he uses in performance to produce close circuit systems of audio / video feedback.
Juliana’s performances chart the dissonant space and discrepancy between the presumed fixed norms of social life and the fluid lived experience those norms don’t allow for.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
An extravagant debauch of plush toys and ritual. Palestine performed a version of Strumming Music, a trance inducing investigation into overtone systems achievable on a Bosendorfer Imperial Piano.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
