A presentation of Innovations en concert

« Il fait complètement noir. Mes sens sont engourdis. An Laurence | © Carlos Riobo

Aux frontières de mon champ de vision,
une lueur fuit mon regard.
 
Si je tourne la tête assez rapidement, j’arrive à l’apercevoir.

Elle se transforme à chaque fois que
je suis sur le point de la comprendre. »
 
To celebrate the launch of her debut album “Almost Touching” (people | places | records), Montreal-based guitarist An Laurence will present an eclectic show combining instrumental and electronic music, poetry, songs and performance art. The concert’s programme includes fragments or arrangements of pieces from the album, as well as brand-new creations.

Kim, as King of Chorophyll, will present a new drag number, and Elischa will perform a voice and piano performance. The Paramorph Collective, An Laurence and Kim’s experimental music and multimedia arts project, will also present their own new works.
