“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
A recently reanimated Ascension, with mighty Leeds drum hero Paul Hession bringing a dense polyrhythmic torrent into play with Jaworzyn’s reinvigorated piercing guitar.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
A freestyle performed conversation for bodies and voices – with the Queen of Krump, the master of Vogue Femme Dramatics and the rising star of Vogue Women’s Performance.
