[Wölflinge]

Jean-Louis Costes is a controversial, ecstatic and extreme performer. Since 1986 he has worked primarily with music, releasing over 40 albums on cd, and others on cassette. He has also made several full-length and short films (and appeared in Irreversible and Baise-Moi). All of this work comes together in his performances, such as Little Birds Shit (2007) a two person drama about a repressed couple who ‘look for more’ in S/M, or in The Holy Virgin Cult (2008). The shows are highly physical and also highly-charged, this is an interaction that stamps all over social networks and wants to break things down. His work is a physical meditation that cannot live with the everyday. He loves shit, sex, the body as tool, the body as object, the body as something more and less than a person. He also has fun with fears of racism, with an album called Nik ta Race (Fuck your Race). There can be no borders for Costes, no demarcation lines, as we all come together, immersed through fluid, ranting and black (or brown) humour. If this all sounds too serious, it’s not – Costes is always humorous, nothing is sacred – and that means all can be made funny. The word ‘uncompromising’ if often used and rarely lived-up to, but the author of the novel Viva la Merda! (Long Live Shit!) is just that. Highly theatrical, but shunned by official theatre, we have sneaked him into one - he is fierce and joyous as he pulls down social taboos, and he will prise open your ears, eyes and head with this first ever performance in Ireland.


A selection of Costes' short films will be screened during the night. Vegan cakes and records/tapes/cds from distro's Bold Lump (Dublin) and Rimbaud Records (Cork) will be available for purchase throughout the night. .|..|

this 'll be deadly

 

[Denver Max]

That all seems so silly.

 

[rotten tropics]

yeah,i find it hard to see any substance in his stuff alright.have been giving some of his stuff a go every now and then for past two years but never really saw much there past the shock factor.
looking forward to the gig though,supports are good and in terms of jean louis costes seeing him live might make more sense.

 

[cesspooldublin]

That all seems so silly.

that's kind of the point like.

 

[ddmurph]

that's kind of the point like.

exactly! it's impossible to see songs like 'born with a cock', 'my cock is my dog', 'take my sperm', 'himalaya of shit', etc, etc as anything other than totally ridiculous. or this album cover [nsfw] ... costes painted in yellow with a raging horn emitting flames ... how can you not look at that and laugh out loud. about two seconds on his website and you're gonna see more cocks than peter christopherson has seen this week. the performances too are totally over the top. at the same time though, there's a lot more to costes than all out ridiculousness. i think the prism escape interview linked above pretty much hit the nail on the head with the following ...

Costes is an artist who doesn’t like taking detours, and even less, making concessions. His plentiful oeuvre - comprised of CDs, performances, videos and most recently a novel entitled Viva la Merda ! (Long Live the Shit !), aims at putting under the spotlights the false taboos and uneasiness that exist throughout our society in order to better destroy them in public. His work rarely leaves the viewer indifferent and often initiates controversy - as we can see by the numerous court proceedings and violent columns, to which he is victim.

musically, his stuff is all over the place ... atonal/harsh almost-"noise" (-liberte de la femme (CD sparadrap sur l'anus - 1997)) to totally stupid inept ramblings (-drink and fuck (CD rape gg - 1988)) to the most amazing pop tunes i've ever heard (-cu de merde (CD terminator moule - 1991)). plenty of what-the-fuck moments too. i don't know how you'd describe this tune but it's amazing ... -mort des chiens (CD vomito negro - 2000)

 

[ddmurph]

... most amazing pop tunes i've ever heard ...

this is possibly my favourite song of all time ...

+ + Poster by Hiiragi + +

KFDS are collaborative artists Not Abel and performance artist Alex Conway. They deal in brooding, darkly vibrant atmospheres, where treated vocals, tapes and bass swarm around rogue trance beats and the remnants of disco pulses. Combining music and performance, they build on prepared materials and texts through improvisation. Combining from these sounds is a physical performance that is intimately touching, maybe too intimate.

OVER -based around the duo of JG and AD with a revolving collaborators and assistants, OVER is an entity dedicated to encapsulating dread through sound.Inspired by horror films,creaking doors, haunted houses and the moment where TV static takes on a sinister life of its' own. Bring a blindfold.On this occasion,OVER will be augmented by VL, BC and SG.
