A hybrid of art, music, literature, theatre and performance, the shows feature spoken word performance artist Sue Tompkins, a rare performance from artist Appau Junior Boakye-Yiadom, multidisciplinary artist Katrina Palmer, and artist and poet Antosh Wojcik. There’s a new experimental set recasting “techno music as a spiritual metaphysics” by Aisha Devi, a new sound work by Kepla featuring

Coined by Latvian writer Konstantin Raudive, EVP stands for ‘Electronic Voice Phenomenon’ and the experiments in this arena of “discovering the voices of the dead in electronic noise” became the framework for the interactive overlap between voice and technology in these new series of events.
