A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
A trio of Tamio’s screaming and immovable slabs of sound; Mico’s dance/ performance/ piano; Fritz’s absurd, flailing percussion/ voice.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.

A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
