The show combines artist's enveloping music with film and dance, a culmination of sound and images through the eerie persona created for her latest album.

Appearing in a royal blue tracksuit – hood pulled low with a long wig and her face distorted – Gazelle Twin's latest album,Unflesh (hailed as Album Of The Year 2014 by The Quietus) tackles themes of coming of age, consumerism and the human body, with throbbing bass, bleeps and percussive sounds crescendoing under breathy, androgynous vocals. As she recounts intense physical and mental experiences, you are forced by the anonymity of the figure she embodies, to reflect on your own.

Fleshed Out is a specially created live performance of the album featuring theatrical elements and visuals and has been devised especially for the cinema – a setting where episodes of the uncanny, revenge fantasies and body horror can take full flight.

The performance will also mark the forthcoming release of an album of re-workings and covers of Unflesh by various guest producers and musicians. A release date and full details will be announced nearer to the show.
