Lydia Lunch & Marc Hurtado play Suicide and Alan Vega tickets

Please note, this event has been cancelled.

Lydia Lunch is a nomadic gypsy in eternal metamorphosis that almost lost her life for her art dozens of times in 35 years. Musician, writer, photographer and performance artist, she appeared in the New York music scene in 1977 with the project founder No Wave, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks. In search of inspiration and cooperation she worked with Karen Finley, Hubert Selby Jr, Nick Cave, William Burroughs or Virginie Despentes, she lived in New York, Brooklyn, New Orleans, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, London. She has visited 656 cities to perform on stage for concerts, spoken word, installations in clubs, theaters and museums.

Marc Hurtado is a musician, performer, poet, painter, producer and filmmaker who co-founded the French duo ETANT DONNES with his brother Eric in 1977. He has made more than 20 albums and concerts around the world in places like Kitchen (New York), the Fondation Cartier (Paris), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Sonar Festival (Barcelona), the Atonal Festival (Berlin), or Transmusicales (Rennes). Apart from this duo and solo project Sol Ixent, he has collaborated with many cult figures including Alan Vega, Genesis P.Orridge, Michael Gira (Swans), Gabi Delgado (DAF), Craig Walker (Archive) , Pascal Comelade, Z'ev, Philippe Grandrieux, Christophe, Saba Komossa (Delkom), Mark Cunningham (MARS), Bachir Attar and the Master Musicians of Jajouka. His films were screened in Beaubourg Paris, FID Marseille, the French Cinematheque in Paris, the Locarno Film Festival, BAFICI Festival Buenos Aires, Mostra de Valencia and recently at the MoMA in New York, which also acquired his latest feature film "Jajouka, something good comes to you" in their collection.

Lydia Lunch crossed paths with Alan Vega and Martin Rev of Suicide upon arrival in New York at age 16 in the 70s. The first show of which she attended was a shock; a revelation on a new form of a concert, a total show, theatrical, free, violent. Since then, a close relationship united them, and Lydia Lunch performed on stage as well as on their [Suicide] record "Frankie Teardrop." 

Marc Hurtado had already met Alan Vega and Lydia Lunch on his Etant Donnés‘s RE-UP album in 1999, and he formed the project My Lover The Killer in 2013 with Lydia Lunch, recording an album and playing on stage together.

Since 2014 Lydia Lunch and Marc Hurtado have joined forces for this event centred around Suicide and Alan Vega songs- it will be a kind of sonic "Blitzkrieg", a visual shamanic ceremony, where both artists will burn their souls in the volcanic heart of the music of Alan Vega and Suicide, alongside kaleidoscopic film INFINITE DREAMERS directed by Marc Hurtado and dedicated to Alan Vega and Martin Rev.
