Artists
London Performance Studios premieres attentions, a new live audio-visual concept album by Harilay Rabenjamina, that traverses familial, intimate and political registers. Blending pop, ambient, R&B, Malagasy and classical influences, attentions is part narrative cinematic performance and part pop concert.
The work unfolds between London, Paris, Antananarivo and Pessac, as it moves through shifting voices and registers, to explore forms of mobility across places, genres and modes of expression. The music is performed live with Thelia.
7:30pm Doors
8pm Performance (50 min run time)
Enter event via Ormside Street.
Shortwave is a new festival of sound and performance unfolding across four independent venues in south east London: South London Gallery, London Performance Studios, IKLECTIK and ORMSIDE Projects.
