OMSK, that site-specific soup of live art, low-budget film and sonic play, has had too much to drink and won1t stop talking - for five hours. This time, at Arcola, the old garment factory, OMSK orates across the whole damn space. As ever, the audience gets messed up in the work and the work in the audience. All kinds of mishaps lead to something inexplicable.
