As a Dislocation event, Unsound’s New York actions are more compact than in previous years, but mark the importance of New York in Unsound’s development and expanding network, involving collaboration with three of our closest partners.

Lincoln Center will present a double-bill at the David Rubenstein Atrium on Thursday June 16, with Elysia Crampton presenting the New York premiere of a work that is part theatre and part live music performance called Dissolution of The Sovereign – A Time Slide Into The Future.

Remember Dislocation is the theme for Unsound Krakow this year, and that further events will take place in cities across Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Central Asia and the Caucasus in 2016/2017, involving special collaborations and commissioned projects.
