A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.

A party and fundraiser to support Sex Workers’ struggles and LGBT Unity with music and performances from the sex workers’ community and allies, plus DJ’s and dancing.

A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
