A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
 
A sort of prayer and conference, a sort of scream and dialogue – a monologue and declaration at the time, addressing how we can build complicity with one another.
 
Jumping off from Sun Ra’s thoughts on evil, and the Alien films, this performance will explore how the sociality Sondra wants to visualise and participate in has no interest in respectability.
 
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
 
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
 
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
 
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…
 
A performed reflection on Malin’s previous re-enacting of a super influential landmark of performance art from the French feminist and artist Gina Pane.
 
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
 
Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
 
Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.
