NIBIRU! at Hackney Old Baths



What do conspiracy theorists scream this festive season at the doomed earth?


“He's behind you!”



And why?



Because NIBIRU!, the giant angry celestial body on a warpath with our planet is, they say, quite literally about to collide with this small ball. What better way to see in the yuletide?



It is for this reason the cream of the UK and Europe's avant-garde in music, performance and comedy are gathering at Hackney Old Baths this December 15th to present an ANTI-PANTO.



“A Techno-pocalyptic party that generates a unique anarchic energy” (The Stage) with a “hypnotic electro soundtrack” (The Guardian) .



Join Ergo Phizmiz (PLC), Depresstival (Lottie Bowater), international refugee aid radical computer music pop-group Goodiepal & Pals, Elvis Herod, Joz Norris, Consignia, Narin Oz, Mary Clarke, Pete Murphy, Lydia Beardmore and many more in an apocalyptic experience of performance, projections and Paxo.



NIBIRU!, originally conceived as a techno concept album by Ergo Phizmiz (PLC), was developed into a performance-happening for this year's Tete a Tete: The Opera Festival at RADA Studios. This new event reunites the original cast of NIBIRU! with a whole bevy of beautiful new apocalyptians, and promises to be an unforgettable experience of tap-dancing celestial bodies, glitter, canned food provisions, fire, and brimstone in glorious techno-color. How else would you expect the end of the world to be?



15/12/18. Doors open 7.30pm, with DJs in the cafe. Performance 8.30pm. Afterparty, with exclusive performances from the cast, from 9.30pm.



NIBIRU! is a pay-what-you-want event, with all proceeds going to Goodiepal & Pals Refugee Aid organisation.
