The history of machines. The future of language. The voices between.

The EVP Sessions gathers newly-commissioned and specially-selected works from artists working across theatre, contemporary art, poetry and performance, into three very special hybrid shows.

Expect to be thrilled, entertained and haunted in a show audiences have described as “mind-boggling” and “perplexingly good”.

The EVP Sessions #1 features
PERERA ELSEWHERE /. SUE TOMPKINS /. APPAU JUNIOR BOAYKE YIADOM /. ANTOSH WOJCIK /. KATRINA PALMER

Each show is interrupted by the award-winning playwright, poet and filmmaker ROSS SUTHERLAND.

With new sound work by granular synthesis producer KEPLA featuring text from music-theorist DeFORREST BROWN JR.

And visuals by CHRIS BOYD derrived from information spewed by face and voice recognition technology.

DETAIL for The EVP Sessions #1 [LIV]
Fri 22 September, 8pm // The Bluecoat // Tickets: £7/5

Perera Elsewhere
Haunting voice, electronics and motion sensors in new trajectories from the hotly tipped Berlin-based Doom-Folk songstress and dungeon DJ.

Sue Tompkins
Spoken word performance as contemporary art. Pop lyrics and barely-recognisable phrases ravaged through unfamiliar stylings, but delivered with addictive intimacy. A secret code between best friends or lovers.

Appau Junior Boakye-Yiadom
Rare performance from a contemporary artist best known for his parody and slapstick works. Steps from the “greatest dance sequence ever” are traced as dub echoes, sounding through Charles Dickens’ travel diary, golden-era Hollywood footage and live voice.

Katrina Palmer
Palmer’s groundbreaking approach to fiction won her the Art Angel Open in 2015. Her work reconfigures narrative fiction as a sculptural form. In this new monologue, a mythic, ironic grave digger works down through strata of hi-tech, vibrant materials, precious metals, plastics, junk and bones.

Antosh Wojcik
Unsettling new performance from the Roundhouse resident artist and poet, exploring memory loss through spoken glitches and live percussion.
