With ARKAI & DJ Seth Anderson

Doors 9PM · ARKAI 10:00PM · DJ 11:30PM to Late

Join us for a candlelit, lounge-style musical experience with the acclaimed electroacoustic string duo ARKAI. Defying all conventions and labels, ARKAI’s otherworldly sound fuses their Juilliard virtuosity with the power of a rock band and energy of EDM to create epic and soul-stirring musical journeys composed of original works and popular classics.

Fresh off of an international tour, ARKAI’s highlights include esteemed engagements at GRAMMYs on the Hill and Carnegie Hall, opening for GRAMMY and Oscar-winning musician Jon Batiste, collaborations with celebrity photographer David LaChapelle for Milan Design Week, viral hits with pianist superstar Tony Ann, and hundreds of shows around the world.

Following ARKAI’s performance, DJ Seth Anderson will play for the rest of the evening.

With Abyss X

8PM Doors · 10:00PM Performance

Join us for an evening of hypnotic and immersive performance. "LIQUID" is a somatic sound performance featuring a 4-octave range voice, original sound design, spoken word and choreography by transdisciplinary artist Evangelia VS aka Abyss X.

LIQUID traverses themes of eco-feminism, surveillance, monetization of the feminine and post internet life, highlighting the tender virtues of the female body as well as its resilience and ferocity as it suspends between the unstable binary ways of online and offline, real and virtual, private and public.

Two performers, Evangelia VS and dancer Sophia Yanez, engage in interplay throughout a series of allegorical scenes slash tableau vivants where body language, movement, voice, light, minimal props and current aesthetics intertwine under the veil of symbolism. How can the technology of ecstasy and somatic release be made wild and accessible so as to ignite mental conversations for the embodiment of a new now?

With DJ Spooky & Ustad Kamal Sabri

Doors 7PM · Music 8PM
