WACK x lovemusic | Presented by Arnolfini + lovemusic + nonclassical

The event forms part of a rare UK visit, with new work being presented at both Arnolfini and the ICA, London.

Collective lovemusic, known for their courageous explorations of new configurations of collaborative performance, are joined by WACK for a live collage in the round. Across their collaborative 45-minute new work, they’ll move between composed material, spoken text, visual elements and real-time decision making, creating a maximalist coming together of multilingual voices, acoustic instruments, live electronics, esoteric invocations, telepathic madrigals, dense noise and deep relaxation tapes.

The gig will also feature a new piece by Neil Luck: an epic fan-fiction monologue that cinematically deconstructs the identity of acclaimed British film director Christopher Nolan.

lovemusic is supported by the French Ministry of culture – DRAC Grand Est, the Conseil Régional Grand Est, the City of Strasbourg; Diaphonique, Franco-British-Irish fund for contemporary music, in partnership with the SACEM, the Friends of the French Institute Trust, the British Council, the Institut français, the Institut français du Royaume-Uni, the Centre National de la Musique, Culture Ireland and Salabert Fondation.
