18.08.2026 — 21.08.2026. 7:45pm. £8-12. A mischievous masquerade lives in Jj’s stomach, uncovering dreams and destinies too affirming to be contained. ladé pulses live from the heart, sending out Afrobeat, revolutionary poetry and future beats. Everything uncovered demands to be seen. Beaded coral curtains form the body’s guts, while a large eye give a glimpse of the outside world. Club ritual merges with mythic storytelling to explore how indigenous spirituality can be practised in the modern day. You could find a home in this archive of dance, costume, and self-acceptance, all technologies to connect with hidden histories in our lineages.
