THE SEER is a collaborative and multidisciplinary performance piece created under the direction of London-based artist Conny Prantera and a carefully select group of international (and mostly female identifying) artists and musicians. Taking inspiration from classical mythology and autobiographical writings, The Seer explores the historical role of oracular rituals from the personal to the political, to create a performance which blends art disciplines into an immersive and site specific form: no performance will ever be the same. For this special occasion, we will see The Seer in collaboration with Lia Mazzari, Alice Colley and sound artist duo BlancSceol.

Maximal in approach, AJA deploys rhythmic noise, bomb heavy drum machine, convolving vocal utterance and a dedicated hell-scape of field recordings, abrupt sound design and blistering drone. These recordings feel expelled rather than composed, a lashing of energy captured. The unhinged nature of her recorded work is complimented in what are soon becoming legendary live performances wherein the AJA experience is fully realised.

S.U.Q.I.R explores the techno body in mediums of sound, movement and digital technologies through meditative practices/ emergent becomings. Embodying slowness becomes a form of resistance/way of being in spaces of digital/sensory/information overload. A.k.a the induced weight of advanced capitalism. In this performance variation we will explore out ability to energetically sense each other across the digital space, using our physical distance from each other as an experimental ground for examining touch and connection. Slezaks physically present performing body will intra-act with adkinsons virtually and sonically present body(via live stream projection).
