DARK SPEECHES

Dark Speeches is a Guerrilla Against Gagets.
The term 'Dark Speech'; a discours coming from our most obscure dephts, the ones unaltered to not accomodate to the visions by society. We act on the level of micro-revenge. FREEDOM
Dark Speeches 'people' are acting on a subsocial level, unrestricted by conventions, etiquette and prefab visions to experience and let experience thrue interactions: like particle physics colliding to evoque unknown worlds.
Dark Speeches explores the relationship between the performing arts, the performance art, the visual arts and poetry.
