NOVELO VAGO
Novelo Vago is a contemporary music garage band characterized by an unconventional approach. Playful, experimental, sharp, and sometimes witty: the trio uses a mix of toy instruments, small percussion instruments, piccolo, sex toys, whatnot! The band’s formation is rooted in a decade-long friendship, valuing fun and togetherness as key, above traditional rehearsal practices.

ELDER ONES & KAREN NG
Elder Ones is an experimental free jazz ensemble led by composer and vocalist Amirtha Kidambi featuring saxophonists Matt Nelson and Alfredo Colon, bassist Lester St. Louis, and drummer Jason Nazary. Kidambi’s voice weaves through intricate instrumentation with her characteristic syllabic, frenzied, and powerful utterances. Their music confronts themes like colonialism, capitalism, and violence, channeling ancestral energy and resistance to systemic oppression through their performances. They are joined on stage by improvisational musician and sax-wizard Karen Ng.

JULIEN DESPREZ
Performing solo with only his guitar and effects pedals, Julien Desprez engages all the senses, placing the body and its movements at the heart of his practice. Here, he presents Agora, a twofold performance that plays with several points of view. A soft, explosive, and joyful trance merges polyrhythmics, high-voltage electricity, guitar, and body until their rupture and reconciliation. With playfulness and frenzy, a multiple world is negotiated through your listening.
