In this multimedia performance-installation hybrid, PIPS:lab demonstrates their revolutionary Radarfunk machine – allowing them to generate sound from color.

They use the device to create a radically untraditional musical performance. With advanced equipment, PIPS:lab will digitally abduct a handful of NY personalities, and using their patented decolonisator, produce clones who are forced to play in the band. The Dutch are back to recolonize New York!






Quotes from the press:

“A show that scrubs the soul and keeps on surprising.” - Amsterdam Weekly

"A hilarious performance supported by freaky songs and absurd acts" - 8weekly
