An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
Two figureheads of the minimalist electronica pulse, Ikeda and Nicolai have been responsible for some of the most innovative and ground-breaking music of the last decade, redefining experimental electronica.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
A panel exploring the poetics of abolition. “Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change.”

Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
