Overview

A dynamic, contemporary dance performance about how it is impossible to explain your deepest wishes or desires... how these can only be expressed in dreams and sleep.

moony's WARNING HIGH CUBE

Aug 9, 2024

moony and Joey Brodnax present WARNING HIGH CUBE - a film accompanying the release of moony’s debut album of the same name. After amassing an impressive collection of genre-spanning EPs scouring depths of emotion, pain, anger, relief, and hope, burgeoning Nashville-based indie alternative rocker Seth Findley (AKA moony) is at full form, ready to deliver his debut LP to the world. WARNING HIGH CUBE is a bold full-throttle whirlwind of a hero’s journey, serving as moony’s definitive allegory of his life so far, exploring swirling ideas of existentialism, nature, animals, spirituality, love, friendship, and the threads that hold humanity together. moony & Joey set out to create a unique audio/visual pairing for the album, unlike anything they’d seen or felt. The result is 50 uncanny, undefinable, and sometimes uncomfortable minutes. A new world ripe for the picking, WARNING HIGH CUBE and its accompanying film are here to save mankind.

Occurrences of Questionable Significance

Apr 11, 2020

When forest animals invade our cities, the world is in disarray. Office vixen Fiona struggles with her banana phone addiction. Will she succumb to it? Temperamental bunny Barbara only gives her stag sugar daddy Nestor his special massage, after he dines her and plays the big spender. This obscure short film pinpoints postmodern tropes of consumerism, eroticism, and art with an homage to the theater stage and references to literature. This work uses a fantasy language and needs no subtitles.

REYNIVELLIR

Nov 20, 2023

Reynivellir is a representation of the transit that is generated when approaching the art work, described with visual games that can well be evoked by the same brain when witnessing the impossible figures of Jose María Yturralde. Reynivellir is also a beach in a country that is a musical sonnet, and this is so because the mental image does not always connect the articulated parts of a sensation, it is systematic, but aleatory, and it is from these notions of the field of observation, that it approaches and moves away from understanding, linking and unlinking forms, movements, sounds, sensations and knowledge.

They witness time in longer intervalls

Feb 8, 2022

During a 6-hour performance and in a additional Film, REA and Yannick Mosimann dedicate themselves to the stretching of time and space based on observations of different trees. The tree, the mammoth of floral time, seems to be a gnarled, proud and place-bound existence, nevertheless in low-frequency, flowing movement. Breathing is here a symbol of time and rhythm, carrier of tonal frequencies of our vocal cords.
