Hungry Ghost

September 17th at 9:00pm

Hungry Ghost is what happens when a guitar forgets it's a guitar. A musician loops drones, textures, and broken voices into slow, ceremonial soundscapes while a dancer improvises through the haze, giving the sound a body. Earthy, otherworldly, equal parts meditation and séance. Nothing rehearsed, nothing repeated. Just two performers conjuring spirits in real time. Come for the sound. Stay for whatever it summons.
