About this Event

Vol 12: Louis Malle's Elevator to the Gallows is a taut, shadowy thriller of desire and consequence. Tonight RUDY RAY gives it a new voice — live trumpet in the basement.

This is the late-night centrepiece of VOLUME 12 of the INSTITUT experiment. Every week, a different hypothesis. Underground at 620 Spadina Ave - around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door...

Come earlier KRYVA KOSA at 5PM, stay for PUULUUP at 9PM. SHAUNT RAFFI closes the night on vinyl at 11PM. But RSVP even though it's PWYC so we know who to expect.
