Surprise !
After Zoukak’s closing of its Karantina Theatre, we were able to fit in one final night inside the space that has served as a key element in the art and culturural landscape for over a decade. A space that is now being taken over by factories.
As the city continues its erosion, we are intent on shaping one final encounter within these walls. And what better than the ten hymns of corrosion to be sung for the occasion, especially after all this while without them. Before the lights dim and the structure returns to silence, we meet once more, to acknowledge what fades and what persists despite it.
--------------------------------------------------------
Songs for the decaying times and downfalls, bereft of deathly gloom. Wondering why we don't dance to this more often. A night of post-punk, new wave, EBM, synthpop, industrial, and the sort, dance underdogs. Genres that weren't given enough justice here.
In these times of continuing corrosion, Information War - that the struggle for control was now not only territorial but communicatory - could not but come into currency; and acts of defiance, no matter how small in the wider scheme of things, could not be more vital.
