Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
A dismantled, performed film, where a narrator pieces together the sounds, images and storytelling of a documentary about Hurricane Katrina before a live audience.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Patented 60 cycle hums, static pops, and terse electron pinpricks mutated into perfect, post-techno grooves and synaesthesic video
What kind of listening and acknowledging do we offer each other? What is it to listen to an ‘elsewhere’, and do we ever do anything else when we listen to music?
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
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.
A poetic multi-screen performance about “the inadequacy of the arbitrary passing moment and the impossibility of permanence”. About time and change.
