Dorcha Takeover feat. KinoMANUAL

Birmingham’s very own weird and wonderful experimental pop group Dorcha take over the Flatpack hub for an evening of music, improv, storytelling and visuals.

Fresh off the back of their 2-week tour in Italy, Dorcha will perform a one-off stripped back set full of tales of wonder and woe from life on the road, complete with projections. Other invitees will include local musicians and visual artists with improv sets and a BYOBeamer vibe to take us through the bank holiday night. Kicking things off are Polish live animation and electronica duo KinoMANUAL.

kinoMANUAL are Polish duo Maciek Bączyk and Aga Jarząb, makers of nifty, intricate animations, deliverers of hands-on celluloid workshops and audiovisual performers. Tonight they will be creating live visuals from their own work alongside regular collaborators Pin Park, another duo made up of Bączyk and fellow keyboard obsessive Maciek Polak who use EMS synthesisers to make a lovely, motorik sound heavily influenced by 70s German electronica.

Keep an eye out for Dorcha’s basement party series coming soon - a DIY bi-monthly night aimed at celebrating the peculiarities the city has to offer.
