An evening of kinetic cinema and musique plastique in three parts: 1) Synthetic History, a radical remix of the recent Transformers (“Transformers Transformed!”) as a critical revenge on old and new fascist tropes, 2) Plastic Dynamism, a live celluloid cinerarium of burnt images and plasma sonics, and 3) Sirens of Destruction, an outdoor ceremony of the sacrificial incineration of the cinema apparatus. Featuring live performances by TwistyCat (Lea Bertucci & Ed Bear), Lary Seven, Nastya Osipova, Brian McCarthy, Joel Schlemowitz, Rachelle Rahme, and Tony Conrad & Marie Losier.
