This is an invitation to the séance. A vent of desperation, a call for empowerment from the ancestors. This is our language to describe our experiences; we stand together, we lose ourselves in musical rapture.
Looking at the past, present and future, subverting elements used to shape and manipulate us for the imperialist gaze, Sonic Séance is a passage through the minerals of our earth, ancient symbols, sexual leverage and colonial primitivist fantasies.
Created and performed by Patricia Panther, Letitia Pleiades, Ashanti Harris and Mele Broomes (Take Me Somewhere Constellation artist).
V/DA is a multi-disciplinary, collaborative collective; crossing the lines between dance, theatre, music and events.
“★★★★★ - an absolutely remarkable display of physicality; a terrifying, chaotic, controlled performance that is as beautiful as it is disturbing.”
