London post-punks, Savages will team up with Anglo-Japanese avant-garde types Bo Ningen for the performance of what is being billed as a “sonic simultaneous poem” when they play East London’s Red Gallery next month.

The night, entitled ‘Words To The Blind’, will see the two acts perform spontaneous poems “recited simultaneously onstage in different languages”, as inspired by early Dadaist concepts.

The press release for the event reads:

“THE SONIC SIMULTANEOUS POEM alludes to the purpose of bringing a solitary voice back to itself. The voice and sounds become immersed and must fight to be heard, and fight to find their path. The ineluctable rhythm and noise of the world threaten to destroy theindividual, but it shows resistance. The figure stands amongst the cacophony.”

The show takes place on 29 May, with tickets £10 and available here.
