Friday – 27.09, 22:30,Tender is the Night
On the third evening of the festival, the collective of mularczuk, war, zolich, żak, who describe ‘You know what hurts me’ as follows, will provide a mix of visual and audio experiences:
It’s easier to leave the house than the city. It’s where we wake up and figure life out. We meet people, get jobs, fall in love, get kicked out of jobs, have our hearts broken. Street culture, just like security cameras in neighborhood corner shops, registers that in cool tones and grainy images. As Miły ATZ once spat: “Grand cities generate great dreams, grand cities verify the style, grand cities calculate the gain”. And that’s what this event is about – city lights that go out when you least expect it, bringing bitter disappointment. When we see our reflections in the parking lot CCTV, we half-jokingly, half-desperately, raise the finger gun like the boys from La Haine.
The myth of urban survival became the end in itself. Hence, the endless contrasts and contradictions — kids dreaming of being from the block and luxury brands selling that dream for a couple of grand for a single hoodie.
In disclosing the frustrations of day-to-day life, a special role belongs to people who create music, responsible for composing the soundtrack of the reality surrounding us. By this, we don’t exclusively mean rap, which comes to mind organically, but also electronic music, whose nature resonates with everything that’s discordant, exaggerated, and overwhelming, like the towering skyscrapers above us.
What will we hear?
Live act and DJ sets. We’ll go from quiet walks along the midnight sidewalks to screaming your lungs out at parties hosted by the homies from your block. Kacper DHL and the guys from the SPEKTRUM collective will be there. We’ll reveal more about them soon, stay tuned.
What will we see?
A contradicting alliance between street and high art. Graffiti on canvas and full caps made of porcelain – the works of Mikołaj Śliwiński. Dedicated visuals that will create the concrete chill of the city, thanks to the work of Wiktoria Richel and Maria Mikołajewska.
