PARK NIGHTS 2021: Jota Mombaça

Jota Mombaça presents ‘Can you sound like two thousand?’, a performative, experimental collective reading session. The piece encompasses an immersive installation in which the audience is encouraged to engage with a cacophonic reading programme designed by the artist that reflects upon the elemental agency of fire.

If you missed Jota Mombaça's Park Nights performance last week you can catch it on Boiler Room TV.
