A spectacular musical show which discusses the representation of a nation state, its characters and history. A learning play on myth construction and its reproduction.
A conversation between Philip and Moten: how do we read NourbeSe’s anti-narrative poetic lament in Glasgow today, given the city’s role in the history of slavery?

To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.

Inspired by the supernatural horror of H. P. Lovecraft, black metal and a sense of worry as to what constitutes an object, or a world.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
