Utilising the architecture of the Deadhouse, an underground tunnel beneath the Somerset House courtyard housing the remnants of a former chapel, ASSEMBLY opens with a ceremonial procession through viscerality, frenzy, unsettling narratives, and power struggle, with the self, loved ones and societal forces. Each corridor of the space will be owned by a different act, each act taking you to the edge.
NAKED debut new performance and installation The Cage - an intense and visceral experience, aiming to create an unflinching statement of self-empowerment. In The Cage everyone becomes both hostage and accomplice of the ‘system’ - the global situation, as a result of the political instability, economic uncertainty and social anxiety. The Cage questions and explores freedom, control, abolishment of hierarchies and refusal to dominate and be dominated. NAKED are Agnes Gryczkowska and Alexander Johnston, a duo engaging with noise, industrial and extreme forms of electronic music.
