the horror the horror – Abrons Arts Center from lala on Vimeo.

A week or so ago Culturebot went to see The Horror The Horror at Abrons Arts Center. This “largely improvised live sound and video performance spectacle” was pretty f’in awesome. A total sensory overload of video, soundscape and live performance. I had some serious conversations afterwards about what it all “meant”. I’m not exactly sure, to be honest, but it was a heck of a lot of cool, trippy fun. Beautiful and haunting, like shoe-gazing revery gone haywire, the pictures in your mind when listening to My Bloody Valentine or Godspeed You Black Emperor. Swirls of reality upended in your mind. Good times, good times.
