BROOKLYNÂ
DETROIT
VENUE
AN EVOCATION OF THE GRAND GUIGNOL
French Horror in Spoken Word, Image+Sound
French Grand Guignol cinema is fractured and reassembled as David J of Bauhaus transforms the Severin Films archive through live scoring and spoken word, a macabre collision of horror, madness, poetry, and the grotesque.
THE UNDEAD:Â
AN EXORCISM OF RELEVANCE
Film Screening + Live Score Performance
Neither concert nor film, The Undead exists between form, a transmedia ritual by Detroit's own QUEENFX (formerly Konqistador), where moving image, live performance, and spectral narrative collide in real time.
THE LADY OF THE VEILED SONG
An Enigmatic Experience
Dark opera for the beautifully haunted. A veiled voice moves between lament and apparition, bending operatic tradition through French new wave, shadow, and dissonance. What emerges is neither aria nor elegy, but something stranger, a song from somewhere just beyond the room.
MATER SUSPIRIA VISION
Spotlight Artist *Screening*
Mater Suspiria Vision is a pioneering Witch house and industrial drone music and film project founded by the German visual artist and musician Cosmotropia de Xam. The project is heavily rooted in dark, occult, and cinematic themes inspired by Italian horror films.
LIA LOVE
The Velvet Vesper
As dusk slips into dream. Velvet Vesper conjures a hypnotic performance where movement, tease, and transformation become impossible to separate. Every invitation conceals another illusion, and every illusion leaves the audience wanting one more glimpse.
MILA LA MACHINA
The She-Devil of Excess
As restraint gives way to beautiful ruin, the She-Devil of Excess emerges. Mila La Machina conjures a decadent spectacle of blood, glamour, and transformation, where indulgence becomes performance and desire knows no measure. She does not tempt you toward excess, she arrives already drowning in it.
VIOLINA VAMPIRA
Live Violin Invocation to Barbara Steele
She plays for the beautiful dead. Violina Vampira (Erin Zuchniewicz) draws her bow across a cinematic seance in honor of Barbara Steele, the living legend of Gothic Horror.
DJ WRAITH
Nocturnal Transmissions
Wraith curates from the crooked edges of the dance floor, industrial pulse, Dark Disco, psychedelic electronics, cinematic rarities, and beautifully misplaced sounds. A nocturnal transmission for strange bodies, restless spirits, and anyone willing to dance somewhere slightly left of reality.
THOSE BETWEEN WORLDS
A Jinn DreamscapeÂ
The screen becomes a passage into the unseen. Jinn, shadow, and fragmented visions emerge as destroyxbeauty (Reginald Tiessen) and Victor Ghannam (National Arab Orchestra) improvise a live score beneath them, electronic atmosphere entwined with oud, qanun, and Arab musical tradition. Image and sound remain unfixed, creating a dreamscape that can exist only once.
