A performance of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
