Imagine six singers tearing through emotionally raw, aurally experimental music, their bodies and voices pushed to极限, all set against a fever-dream stage that merges David Lynch’s surrealism with Kubrick’s stark minimalism. Dressed in funeral garb, they embody grief, memory, and possession, with Cassandra hauntingly reliving trauma. The ELISION Ensemble adds layers of avant-garde instrumentation, while the entire 60-minute experience is a thrilling, physically demanding whirlwind of beauty and chaos—perfect for those craving bold, uncompromising art.
