Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
We asked Christoph to come and give a sort of informal talk, raising some of his ideas about sound and image, and playing/ showing a few examples.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Julius Eastman’s Evil Nigger for 4 pianos performed by Joe Kubera, Kate Thompson, David Murray, Alan Fearon and Simon Passmore.
How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
A prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
Andrew Chalk & Christoph Heemann return with their diaphanous, impressionistic drone duo; their slowly evolving and enthralling works flutter and quiver with elegantly restrained, miniature sound events.
Beatriz will explore her thinking, on film as translation, plural subjectivity or land-based militancy. Discussion will centre around her work Oriana and its companion piece Oenanthe, which will be screened in full.
