Folk poet, actor and bon viveur Kan Mikami in duo with Jojo Hiroshige, a founding member of Japanese Noise band Hijokaidan.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).

Our Zooms are unmuted, our mics are open, and our hearts and bodyminds are receptive. We give the floor online and in person to you…
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
