The Lappetites play at Cafe Oto on THURSDAY 16 June 2011 Doors: 8pm
OK people, TRIPTYCH Festival is about to launch in London, presenting the work of Eliane Radigue
My ECP neighbour Kaffe Matthews tells us: “I’ve known Eliane since 1999 and we first collaborated when she gave the work Elemental II to the Lappetites to play in Paris 2002. We’ll be playing this on Tuesday June 14th at Christ Church, Spitalfields. Also, To make the most of the Lappetites being in town, (we live in Finland, Japan and London) we’ll also play ‘Tokohu – wall, silence,’ and ‘ Where are the Wild Ones’ at Café OTO on Wed June 16th, 8.00p.”
The Lappetites, is an international collective of artists who create their work through online communication and occasional one place collision somewhere else in the world. For their café Oto debut, Akama and Matthews will present:
‘Tokohu – wall, silence‘ a specially made work, with contribution from AGF and Radigue, that plays on and questions catastrophe, the planet, information and survival through the daily experiences of the players since the 3.11 tsunami.
