Commissioned by the FutureEverything organisation, a 40-minute concept performance called ‘Kingdom Come’ and devised by Gazelle Twin will feature new and original music as well as choreography and costume design from the musician. The performance will feature Natalie Sharp, aka Lone Taxidermist, and Stuart Warwick on vocals. It takes place at the Manchester Art Gallery on March 31.

Making its debut at FutureEverything 2016, British artist Gazelle Twin presents Kingdom Come, a new audio visual performance in collaboration with Chris Turner and Tash Tung, premiering at Manchester Art Gallery.

Commissioned by FutureEverything, this conceptual performance for two vocalists will be staged in six chapters, incorporating electronics, film, and a brand new soundtrack from Gazelle Twin, created from samples and live vocal manipulation. With the piece set on treadmills against a manic, illusory landscape, Kingdom Come places heightening physical demands on the performers, resulting in an exhausting, otherworldly climax.

Taking its title from J. G Ballard’s final novel, Kingdom Come will play with notions of feralness, displacement and the uncanny in the contemporary British, urban landscape.
