Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.

Three days of discussions, performances, actions, dancing and food – continuing No Total’s ongoing contemplation of ways of being together and the ways Arika have been entangled in those, ever since Episode 4.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.

Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
A performed lecture concerned with Renaissance occult (musical) thinkers of the cosmic who put forward the notion of the “disharmony of the world”
