Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.

Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
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.
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
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.
