“Hidden in the hands an alluvial transcription of reach and embrace. The final flickers of the body’s expression, caress and touch.” – boychild
A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.

This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
