BIO:
We wish we had sponsors and funders. Who the fuck has sponsors and funders for performing in a no budget, horizontal/diagonal improv (off) festival? Hindi lives in Berlin but also Paris and has family in multiple countries and contexts. Hennessy lives in San Francisco, is originally from Canada, and has family in multiple countries and contexts. Working equals travel. Hennessy + Hindi make live performance together, based on their studies of punk, tear gas, improvisation, cowardice, masculinity, faggotry, music, contact improvisation, booking air travel, shaking, (butt) fucking the space, (post-colonial) ritual, beer & tequila, cruising, noise, shy introversion, philosophies of philosophy and histories of history, competition, jealousy, feminism, orgasm, racism, pain, and control.
