This piece is about obsession.
Our guilty obsession with a 1989, cult, B-horror film.
Our gory obsession with fake blood pyrotechnics.
Our sonic obsession with experimental electronic music.
Our hopeful obsession that even the deepest of injuries can heal.
Part live-scored silent film, part irreverent midnight movie – (holy) BLOOD creates an entirely original sonic landscape to accompany manipulated pieces of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s cult-classic film Santa Sangre. Violently shattered across screens and accompanied by explosive blood choreography, the work remaps a story of circuses, blood cults, madness, and forgiveness.
