Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme enhance their installation exhibition May amnesia never kiss us on the mouth with a live audiovisual performance. The exhibition installation collects (among other things) field recordings of beleaguered people singing and dancing in Palestine, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq; this live performance supplements them with still more field samples and some visual projections, as well as live vocals and electronics.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Adequate French brasserie food in what must be admitted to be pretty spectacular surroundings at La Grande Boucherie.
