The House of Extreme Music Theatre - Schachto-Culture: Clockspiderrainbewegen

A performative-media shachtophony Clockspiderrainbewegen with an instrumentarium of sonic fiction for a performing duo in a panzerized schacht-cabin superimpose a bodily partiture of extreme music performance by Damir Bartol Indoš and Tanja Vrvilo with a video virus of the Schachto-Culture by visual and music artist Ivan Marušić Klif.
