ADMISSION: 100 PHP

The pit, the abyss, the penetralia, the recesses of the mind, the darknessof politicaldomination, the gulf between worlds. To conduct the pit, then, versus theorchestra of the living, is to initiate and order materials from thesubconscious. On April 20 at Mag-net Café Katipunan, local video artists and sound artists will take up the role as the "Conductors of the Pit" and partake in a freely improvised environment where their only obvious limitations are the limits of their equipment, venue space and time.

Video artists and video performance artists (VJs) are going to be paired upand pitted against sound artists and musicians, into a mock-battle/game of dominance, cooperation, and everything in between. The pairs can compliment each other, challenge each other, or totally hinder each others performance.There are absolutely no rules. No predetermined obstructions or directions as to how each performance should be. Anything goes. Each pair will only be given 30 minutes (includingset-up time) per performance. Each performer will have to rely on improvising on the spot with their selected partners. While some of these performers have performed together in the past, most of them are going to be their chosen partners will do for the show. Everybody will meet with their material for the first time at the show on April 20.
