Koka Nikoladze: Urban Liturgy (WP)
Youngstorget
9 September, 1 and 8 pm
(Due to heavy rain at Youngstorget, Koka Nikoladze's event at 1 pm unfortunately had to be cancelled. The performance of Urban Liturgy can be experienced at the same place at 8 pm tonight!)
Free entry
Koka Nikoladze returns to Ultima with an interactive installation and performance inspired by religious rituals. The Oslo based Georgian composer/sound artist has invented his own set of beliefs, customs and traditions and will invite members of the public to join him in worshipping in an unfamiliar religious system.
Nikoladze will install a series of automated musical sources built by himself, including self-strumming string instruments, self-hitting drums, computerised voices reading Google Translate passages from the internet, and more, in a public space, amplified by hidden speakers.
Supported by Norsk kulturråd.
