A performed reflection on Malin’s previous re-enacting of a super influential landmark of performance art from the French feminist and artist Gina Pane.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
