Please note, the advertised start time is when our doors will open, generally music starts one hour after doors.---Manu Louis It's hard to find a profile like Manu Louis in music…. Belgium born, now Berlin based, he studied composition with legendary composer Fréderic Rzewski, electronic music on the internet, and dancing during his concerts. A Passionate singer, and knob agitator, he also plays the guitar in his own unique punk jazz way... Equally at home working with electronic dance, classical or jazz musicians, Manu has performed his stuff from completely acoustic solo up to 200 wind players and everything in between. In his music (fortunately, as is the case today for many young musicians) style doesn’t exist. He mixes things that cross his path, and creates new adventures of provocative and decontextualized juxtapositions. His general blueprint remains the same throughout, but the ingredients he uses vary; from dissident chanson française, genial dilettante, avant-garde composers, new beat, old hits, art-pop &amp; hard bop. ---Mr Vast “One of the most absurd and hilarious beings we have ever had the pleasure of meeting, his ability to amuse and confuse his subjects is second to none” - HENGEMr Vast – aka Henry Sargeant – trained as an actor and ‘dark clown’ before
veering off into music as frontman for the legendary Wevie Stonder, dubbed by
the BBC as “the Monty Python of electronic music”. Expanding on the same brand
of anarchic comedy and wild fusion of musical influences, Mr Vast is a one-man
show that resists easy definitions: a slapstick cabaret, a surrealist happening, an
avant-garde concert, a tragicomic carnival, an ecstatic ritual.
Carrying the torch of the Great English Eccentric and music hall variety
performance into the post-Brexit 21st century, Mr Vast also draws on the Theatre
of the Absurd, the archetype of the fool and international folk traditions in his
weird &amp; wonderful characters, costumes, masks and props. A metamorphic
presence and shamanic compère, Vast takes audiences on journeys into fantastic
new worlds, summoning the deepest desires and fears from our collective
unconscious.
Equally at home on stage at festivals, comedy venues or nightclubs, Mr Vast
has a diverse global fanbase devoted to his unique style of off-kilter electronica
and inspired lyricism, showcased in unpredictable live sets where barriers
between performer and audience are always broken down. Behind the multiple
personalities of Mr Vast lies a deeply human, vulnerable artist seeking connection
and catharsis, one who aims to triumph over adversity with shared fun and
laughter.---FierbinteanuFierbinteanu is an electro-punk band, active in music, sound &amp; video art. Based in Bruxelles, where they record their future intergalactic velvet entertainment album, Gabriela (vocals, producer) and Cristian Fierbinteanu (producer, vocals, bass) come from Bucharest, via Paris, Berlin, Stockholm and Reykjavik. They make catchy love songs about billionaires and monsters, with powerful (mainly) female vocals, all presented with eye-candy visuals &amp; theatrical sound-design."An artistic duo that deserves total fascination"-Art7---Please note we are unable to offer refunds.
