A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting
A community of those without community, for a community to come. A schizo-scenic video-collage of the disturbing ‘normality’ of Moby Dick.
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
An open conversation around the history and practices of the Ueinzz Theatre Company – a radical Brazilian schizoscenic theatre company of carers, so-called psychotic patients and philosophers.
Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert. The last four hours of the Sunday 14 at Instal 10 were devoted to presentations devised during the three workshops. The material conditions (time, space, facilities…) were the instruments. From there anything could happen.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
“The miracle of Herman Melville is this: that a hundred years ago in Moby Dick…he painted a picture of the world in which we live, which is to this day unsurpassed.” – C. L. R. James
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Free Jazz group comprising Matt Lavelle, Matt Heyner (TEST, No-Neck Blues Band) and Ryan Sawyer (Tall Firs).
