Dear friends,

Save the date for my next and LAST movie night at the Rabbithole! As your Rabbit Movie Night curator for the past 3 years, I am soon leaving the country and am contributing one last time to this amazing space with a special evening. I'm inviting local talents to present their latest films, and we'll have the pleasure to invite our good friend SUGARLIFE to preform live one more time.

BRANDED TO KILL, 1967

is a unique rendering of the Yakuza (gangster) genre, part film noir, part surreal satire, this movie is known for it's rather hard to follow storyline, and avant grade qualities which gained it's place into the Japanese New Wave movement. 

 

The story follows Goro Hanada in his life as a contract killer.

Here's a peek at last week's performance during March 21st' Movie Night, featuring Tom Ramon vs. Fuckintosh, a Swiss German experimental jazz duo, who mystified us with a highly cinematic performance. Ramon on the Wurlitzer and Fa scratching CD's on a turntable combined their improv talents with a wirlwind of pre-recorded piano samples...

Movie Nights at the Rabbithole continue this month with a screening of Czech filmmaker Milos Forman's "The Firemen's Ball", the film that pushed Forman into exile from his native country, opened by a one of a kind live performance by TOM RAMON vs FUCKINTOSH. 
 
8pm : TOM RAMON vs FUCKINTOSH
"When the sounding worlds of Tom Ramon vs. Fuckintosh collide, prepared piano sounds are hunted by manipulated CD's. Meaning, a vintage wurlitzer will pussyfoot between Fuckintosh's rhythms controlled by a converted record player.

Thu Jan 17th: Sugar Life (live) + "Female Trouble" by John Waters

on Fri, 01/11/2013 - 20:32

 

For a wonderful start into the new year of 2013, Rabbithole is pleased to present it's first movie night of the year with a very special performance by SUGAR LIFE, followed by a screening of FEMALE TROUBLE by John Waters. That means double trouble!
 

8pm: SUGAR LIFE 

Born in France, Sugarlife (Christian Dautresme) is a performance/music artist living in New York City. “It’s like watching a cheap live daytime soap in which the main female character unravels onstage. There is usually some sort of molting which follows…” says Sugarlife. “Imagine if the United States became a third world country and people had to resort to living room theatre or decrepit mall theater for entertainment. I’m trying to… manifest the subconscious imagery that inhabits the world of dreams and the world of films by the likes of David Lynch, John Waters, Bunuel, Almodovar and others.

"If looking at my work in the context of Guy Debord’s society of the spectacle, the essential character of the spectacle is said to be a 'negation of life which has invented a visual form for itself', While trying to go against the grandiose spectacle created by society, I aim to eventually be assimilated by it and to bend the light that illuminates it. 
 
"Sugarlife explores and desecrates the time-based and spatial notions ofperformance art, identity, and sexuality with an entertaining and often absurd interactive, live performance. It tends to be hilarious as well as very scary. Whether charging the air with electronic blips, conjuring up a damaged visitor from the realms of the immortal spirits such as Kazuo Ono and Tatsumi Hijikata, or singing in a celestial soprano, Sugarlife becomes a sonic shaman whose transcendence is the only constant.  Neo-Fluxus freak out? Absurdist action art? The ghost of G.G. Allin as a drag queen from a distant planet? Sugarlife transcends any classification."
 
 
 

8:30pm: FEMALE TROUBLE

The king of bad taste at his best. This classic John Waters tells the depraved life story of obese criminal Dawn Davenport (Divine), from her bad-girl youth as a go-go dancer on Baltimore's infamous Block to her death in the electric chair. Populated with Waters' typical appallingly hilarious cast of screwed-up social misfits and dysfunctional lunatics, this is a wonderful thoroughly deranged comedy. An outrageous delight which has formed the raw back bone of today's cultural subconscious. 

 
Thursday January 17th, 2013
