Elasticene is a 55-minute hybrid performance at the edges of experimental music, movement, and speculative fiction, where synthetic materials come alive as collaborators in a world of posthuman entanglement. Throat Pleats (Aus) transforms balloons, tubes, and petrochemical detritus into sonic agents of breath, resistance, and play in a visceral, anti-virtuosic response to climate collapse.
Performers: Niki Johnson and Solomon Frank
