If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.

Looking at and listening to different ideas about sound and music, INSTAL 09’s collection of artists included Tetsuo Kogawa, vocalist Joan La Barbara, Phil Minton (and his Century FC feral choir), Austrian Actionist Hermann Nitsch, Steve McCaffery and many more.
