unDISCHARGED featuring ANAMANAGUCHI (US)
October 25th, 2009 • Uncategorized • No comments
Light a fire of sensuality into your internal organs and unDISCHARGE yourself. This, the “Empire Strikes Back” to DISCHARGE’s “A New Hope,” is not a concert in the traditional sense. This is an audiovisual exhibition of what can only be called performance art because it will synthesize music, images, and bodies into a psychedelic experience appropriate for those willing to explore the inner workings of collegiate humanity.
Indeed, this event will not follow the most traditional concert format but will instead function as a collaboration between your dancing body and the following artists:
