Resurrection

Performance in What Is: heart(break) Series

An active meditation on the past staying present.

For our second night of What Is: heart(break), New York-based underground electronic artist 8ULENTINA’s first time in Toronto sees them premiere their debut full-length album “Surpassing Disaster,” engaging with the past as an active collaborator instead of a source of nostalgia

Through experimental electronic composition drifting between ambient sound design and Middle Eastern percussive traditions, 8ULENTINA’s “Surpassing Disaster” punctures a new sonic temporality that freely welcomes the necessity of transformation.

In the dualities of the heart, the night also features local musician and multimedia artist Patrick Perez reflecting on sound’s alchemical potential, transforming suffering into moments of sublime that catch one’s breath. Hagop Ohannessian joins this reflection with a live a/v performance to pair, informed by his practice exploring forms and assemblages warping perceptions.


TICKETING & ACCESSIBILITY INFO


RUSH LINE & NO-SHOW POLICY

Sometimes our shows sell out, and that can be a bummer for folks who didn’t get a ticket. We’ve developed a new ticketing policy that applies to advance ticket holders and those wanting tickets to ensure a fair, transparent process for releasing additional tickets to a sold-out show. Please read our full policy here.

TICKETING

Our new ticket type invites you to Pay What You Can Afford (PWYCA) which means that you can choose an appropriate level and where possible, help to offset community members attending at a discounted rate. Levels are decided by you based upon your income and financial flexibility and are not verified at the door.

ACCESSIBILITY INFO

Standard Time is not wheelchair accessible due to stairs (a step at the entrance and two sets of stairs up to the performance space). Washrooms are gender neutral.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to matthew@musicgallery.org.

COVID POLICY

We strongly encourage masking at all times. For our full policy, click here

SAFER SPACE

We expect all attendees and community members to respect one another, and to respect the work that was created for you to explore. We will not tolerate harm or harmful behaviour of any kind. View our policy here.
