How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
Trio vocal performance of a score by Achim Wollscheid with Aileen Campbell, Junko and Dylan Nyoukis.
Thuja specialise in a unique and abstract folk music, a devoutly organic tapestry deeply rooted in the sway and bow of nature.

A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Formed as a means to realise William Bennett’s goal of “a sound that could bludgeon an audience into submission”

A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
