In The Deep Museum
PERFORMING AT SOMEDAY
Saturday, Jan 20 › 9pm › $5
GEKIKAI: post-asiatic salon starring BILL HORIST, VANESSA SKANTZE, DOUGLAS RIDIGNS, SHERI BROWN, NOAH MICKENS, IN THE DEEP MUSEUM, and NEQUAQUAM VACUUM.
"Gekikai" is a Japanese term, meaning both "The World of the Theater" and "The Ways of the Barbarian". Thus Gekikai is the name of our post-asiatic salon: a performative cultural space at the interstices of the radical and traditional arts of Asia and the West. Butoh, odissi, raga, jazz, noise—filtered through a post-modernist and distinctly Western perspective.
This installment of Gekikai revisits a long-form improvisation that happened earlier this year in Seattle. Bill Horist, arguably the world's great virtuoso of the prepared guitar, heads up a cast of post-asiatic musicians who interact both physically and sonically with dancers from the P.A.N., Death Posture, and Societas Insomnia.
About the artist
In the Deep Museum, a new experimental trio from Seattle, performs improvised industrial/art/noise/rock. The band's sound ranges from harsh and assaultive to haunting and sublime.
In the Deep Museum features Vanessa Skantze (voice and percussion), celadon (noise and keyboards) and natasatán (guitars).
The trio has recently performed in Seattle and New Orleans and has provided music for experimental dance performances and workshops. A highlight of their recent New Orleans tour was Lucifer, a dramatic piece by Vanessa incorporating spoken word, dance, and song, with music by celadon and natasatán.
