Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.

Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
Why won’t the idea of the particle or individual go away? Is the measurement problem in physics a documentary film issue? What can a human be without its crutches of life-time and measure?

In 2008 we toured our Kill Your Timid Notion festival of experimental sound and image to London, Bristol and Glasgow, bringing audiences a taste of the previous 5 festival editions.

A joyful conversation discussing disability, gender transition and care labour as expressions of virtuosic and innovative skills that make care – good care – possible.
