DARKROOM is a new performance installation by Bent Duo that transcribes the structure of a Dark Room into a sonic experience. Experienced on an individual basis by appointment only, the heightened sensorial experience of anonymous Dark Room encounters and their capacity to engender unexpected and liberatory revelations serves as a framework for a new way of experiencing sound and performance. There is power in the dark | Find your power in the dark | Build queer power in the dark.
