For Unfurl II Late Night Programme, SOFT CENTRE enters a long-abandoned Chinese cinema in Haymarket to present a late-night offering of unhinged theatrics and A/V mind melt.
Coursing with the distilled rage and sorrow of a decimated Los Angeles, i8i affiliate FITNESSS (USA) prompts pandemonium with their prosthetic electronics and strobic overload. Making their long-awaited hometown debut, Spider Gang producer, SOLSA, will also perform an eruptive live set that merges SoundCloud rap, tek and ‘trap metal’. Founder of QTBIPOC collective UMAMI, Stev Zar stages a narrative DJ set with roaming performers under the AN.IĆ moniker, and WeiZen Ho continues her Stories From the Body oeuvre with a participatory opening performance fusing vocal-bodywork, hair whipping and mimicry of spirit possession. Finally, enfant terrible of Australia’s breakcore and witch house scenes - Horse MacGyver - unleashes a new A/V work, titled: An unhinged and ill-thought-out version of creative expression that combines audio and visual technologies in a manner that attempts to capture an audience’s attention for at least 40 minutes in an age completely dominated by 15 second samples of our collective neurosis.
