Presented in partnership with Melbourne Music Week–Extended and The Capitol, Melbourne-based producers Ara Koufax and iconic electronic performer and academic Simona Castricum each debut live audiovisual performances on screen at The Capitol.
In SCREAM, Ara Koufax soundtrack their own experimental film about psychic violence. Pitch-black and occasionally tongue-in-cheek, SCREAM pairs electronic soundscapes with rollercoasters, SWAT raids, red carpet premieres and all manner of everyday horror. After a short intermission, enjoy Castricum’s debut performance of her 2020 album and architecture PhD dissertation ‘Panic/Desire’, presenting an allegory about the gender-nonconforming city between urban and digital realms.
The double bill performances are followed by an exclusive Q&A with the artists led by Triple R presenter Simon Winkler. The evening show has already sold out, so this is your chance to snap up a ticket to the matinee – for free!
