A commissioned text by sci-fi writer Mark von Schleggel, in which alien moths invade the Indonesian archipelago, gives rise to a concert of multiple art-forms, created by the composer-artists collective Slave Pianos, together with the Yogjakarta punk band, Punkasila, the ASTRA choir and other performers. Music joins video, film, comic-book, and drawings of Robert Smithson to explore dystopic landscapes, Indonesian politics, Javanese mysticism, and art practises ancient and modern. With choral works by Slave Pianos (2014), Heinrich Schütz (1648) Robert Schumann (1848) and Gianluca Geremia (2014)
