A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
Dir: Maurizio Lazzarato & Angela Melitopoulos
A filmic constellation exploring Felix Guattari’s anti-patriarchal, anti-colonialist, anti-psychiatric, animist ideas of care and the self. And an Introduction to the Episode.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
Reading their letters to each other, and chatting about prefigurative politics as the practice of relentlessly building worlds through unspeakable violence and loss; of building worlds and living in them anyway.
A simple, gracefully bold set-up to allow Loïc to trace connections: of comments upon comments upon comments, of sounds next to sounds next to sounds.
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
