Filmed when he was sixteen years old in the woods and old public buildings around Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, A Maggot Tango is now in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York.Shot as a silent on B&W Ilford 16MM negative film, and matched in post-production to an electric playlist on the soundtrack, A Maggot Tango follows the descent of a young woman named "A" (18-year-old Erica Downie, in a committed and fearless performance) who runs away from home, and perhaps kills herself, only to become trapped in an increasingly surreal nightmare filled with her disturbed parents, an angel, a dead little boy, a car crash, two random polysexual hook-ups, drugs, cannibals, and the specter of Death herself as well as several tango dance sequences.Operatic, strange, grotesque, violently comic. Inspired by silent movies, the avant-garde cinema of the 20s, 30s, 40 & 50s, the underground films of the 1960s, and the cult movies of the 1970s. Part lyrical art film, part seedy sexploitation picture. Come celebrate A Maggot Tango, a pivotal early work from Andrew Repasky McElhinney, one of our great contemporary film directors.Director, cast and crew in attendance.Second feature:KIDS (1995 / 100 minutes)"That summer we made A Maggot Tango, we would film during the day, and go to clubs, or house parties, or diners, or go see Kids at night. Kids was 18+ so we had to get around that but we must-of seen the picture five or six times. If those kids weren't us, they were certainly kids we knew, and it was so thrilling, empowering, and sad, to see a version of our maladjusted world, up there on screen, as we were living it."—Andrew Repasky McElhinney Photographer turned director Larry Clark and screenwriter Harmony Korine's very-90s classic is a prurient, reactionary scare film rubbing your face in the way it is. However, reactionary melodrama is transformed by breathtaking cinematography (Eric Edwards), editing (Christopher Tellefsen) and raw and fearless performances from the cast (including the big screen debuts of future stars Rosario Dawson and Chloë Sevigny).IN TAKING STEPS TO SLOW THE SPREAD OF COVID-19, THE ROTUNDA HAS BEEN ORDERED TO SHUT DOWN.

Tony Buck (of The Necks) & David Watson pres. by Fire Museum 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM IN TAKING STEPS TO SLOW THE SPREAD OF COVID-19, THE ROTUNDA HAS BEEN ORDERED TO SHUT DOWN. CURRENTLY, WE ARE CLOSED UNTIL MAY 31, 2020. HOWEVER, THIS CLOSURE COULD BE EXTENDED DEPENDING ON THE PROGRESS OF THE VIRUS, SO PLEASE STAY TUNED! Fire Museum PresentsTony Buck (of The Necks) & David WatsonTony Buck is regarded as one of Australia’s most creative and adventurous exports, with vast experience across the globe. As a drummer, percussionist, improviser, guitarist, video maker and producer, he has been involved in a highly diverse array of projects but is probably best known around the world as a member of the trio “The Necks”. Apart from The Necks he has played, toured or recorded with Jon Rose, Otomo Yoshihide, John Zorn, T. Cora, Phil Minton, Haino, Even Parker, The Machine for Making Sense, Lee Ranaldo, Ne Zhdall, The EX, Clifford Jordan, Ground Zero, and more. Following studies and early experience in Australia he spent time in Japan, where he formed “Peril” with Otomo Yoshihide and Kato Hideki before relocating to Europe in the mid-nineties. Some of the more high profile projects he has been involved with include the band Kletka Red, and touring and recording with, among others, The EX, The Exiles, and Corchestra, and involvement with most of the international improvisation and new music community and festivals. He also creates video works for use with live music performance and has had pieces shown in Tokyo, Belfast, Berlin, New York and Sydney. Current projects include a LIVE solo adaption of the UNEARTH music, incorporating installations, video, drums and guitar; “Spill” with Magda Mayas; “Transmit” (a guitar driven post-rock project); New York based trio “Glacial” (with David Watson and Lee Ranaldo); “Circadia” (with Kim Myhr, David Stackenas and Joe Williamson); a long standing duo with Axel Doerner as well as a continuing in ad hoc and improvised performance settings.David Watson is an experimental musician — a guitarist, bagpiper and all around advocate for intelligent listening. His work encompasses improvisation and composition in a wide variety of contexts. Originally from New Zealand, where he co-founded the experimental label Braille Records and organized several national music festivals he moved to New York in 1987. As a guitar player he became an dedicated participant in the downtown scene, notably for John Zorn’s Cobra, with Ikue Mori, Christian Marclay, Zeena Parkins, Fred Lonberg-Holm, and the improvising trio Tipple. In the early 90’s he started playing the Highland bagpipes and has had a longtime project with Lee Ranaldo and Tony Buck, Glacial. He has created a new vocabulary for the instrument, pushing the limits of space, sound and timbre. The Wire described his pipe compositions on Fingering an Idea, the project he made for Phill Niblock’s XI label as, “shimmering lines, piling-up like an old Terry Riley piece.” Similarly, Che Chen writing for Other Music, described “long form tonal explorations that can be so otherworldly and engrossing that the slight wheeze of the windbag that comes at the end of each piece can be a startling and oddly necessary reminder, that these sounds were created by human breath.” Inspired by processions, Watson has an ongoing project creating new-music for walking. This has led him to making theater pieces for the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, a composition for pipe bands in Tasmania, and for a large ensemble in a storage facility in Los Angeles. Phill Niblock’s piece “Bag” was made using Watson’s playing as source material, and they have performed it many times internationally.links at: http://firemuseumpresents.com/events/tony-buck-david-watson/Admission is FREE but donation for the artists would be greatly appreciated.

Filmed when he was sixteen years old in the woods and old public buildings around Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, A Maggot Tango is now in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York.Shot as a silent on B&W Ilford 16MM negative film, and matched in post-production to an electric playlist on the soundtrack, A Maggot Tango follows the descent of a young woman named "A" (18-year-old Erica Downie, in a committed and fearless performance) who runs away from home, and perhaps kills herself, only to become trapped in an increasingly surreal nightmare filled with her disturbed parents, an angel, a dead little boy, a car crash, two random polysexual hook-ups, drugs, cannibals, and the specter of Death herself as well as several tango dance sequences.Operatic, strange, grotesque, violently comic. Inspired by silent movies, the avant-garde cinema of the 20s, 30s, 40 & 50s, the underground films of the 1960s, and the cult movies of the 1970s. Part lyrical art film, part seedy sexploitation picture. Come celebrate A Maggot Tango, a pivotal early work from Andrew Repasky McElhinney, one of our great contemporary film directors.Director, cast and crew in attendance.Second feature:KIDS (1995 / 100 minutes)"That summer we made A Maggot Tango, we would film during the day, and go to clubs, or house parties, or diners, or go see Kids at night. Kids was 18+ so we had to get around that but we must-of seen the picture five or six times. If those kids weren't us, they were certainly kids we knew, and it was so thrilling, empowering, and sad, to see a version of our maladjusted world, up there on screen, as we were living it."—Andrew Repasky McElhinney Photographer turned director Larry Clark and screenwriter Harmony Korine's very-90s classic is a prurient, reactionary scare film rubbing your face in the way it is. However, reactionary melodrama is transformed by breathtaking cinematography (Eric Edwards), editing (Christopher Tellefsen) and raw and fearless performances from the cast (including the big screen debuts of future stars Rosario Dawson and Chloë Sevigny).IN TAKING STEPS TO SLOW THE SPREAD OF COVID-19, THE ROTUNDA HAS BEEN ORDERED TO SHUT DOWN.

8:00 PMPOSTPONED! Tony Buck (of The Necks) & David Watson pres. by Fire Museum

8:00 PM - 10:00 PM IN TAKING STEPS TO SLOW THE SPREAD OF COVID-19, THE ROTUNDA HAS BEEN ORDERED TO SHUT DOWN. CURRENTLY, WE ARE CLOSED UNTIL MAY 31, 2020. HOWEVER, THIS CLOSURE COULD BE EXTENDED DEPENDING ON THE PROGRESS OF THE VIRUS, SO PLEASE STAY TUNED! Fire Museum PresentsTony Buck (of The Necks) & David WatsonTony Buck is regarded as one of Australia’s most creative and adventurous exports, with vast experience across the globe. As a drummer, percussionist, improviser, guitarist, video maker and producer, he has been involved in a highly diverse array of projects but is probably best known around the world as a member of the trio “The Necks”. Apart from The Necks he has played, toured or recorded with Jon Rose, Otomo Yoshihide, John Zorn, T. Cora, Phil Minton, Haino, Even Parker, The Machine for Making Sense, Lee Ranaldo, Ne Zhdall, The EX, Clifford Jordan, Ground Zero, and more. Following studies and early experience in Australia he spent time in Japan, where he formed “Peril” with Otomo Yoshihide and Kato Hideki before relocating to Europe in the mid-nineties. Some of the more high profile projects he has been involved with include the band Kletka Red, and touring and recording with, among others, The EX, The Exiles, and Corchestra, and involvement with most of the international improvisation and new music community and festivals. He also creates video works for use with live music performance and has had pieces shown in Tokyo, Belfast, Berlin, New York and Sydney. Current projects include a LIVE solo adaption of the UNEARTH music, incorporating installations, video, drums and guitar; “Spill” with Magda Mayas; “Transmit” (a guitar driven post-rock project); New York based trio “Glacial” (with David Watson and Lee Ranaldo); “Circadia” (with Kim Myhr, David Stackenas and Joe Williamson); a long standing duo with Axel Doerner as well as a continuing in ad hoc and improvised performance settings.David Watson is an experimental musician — a guitarist, bagpiper and all around advocate for intelligent listening. His work encompasses improvisation and composition in a wide variety of contexts. Originally from New Zealand, where he co-founded the experimental label Braille Records and organized several national music festivals he moved to New York in 1987. As a guitar player he became an dedicated participant in the downtown scene, notably for John Zorn’s Cobra, with Ikue Mori, Christian Marclay, Zeena Parkins, Fred Lonberg-Holm, and the improvising trio Tipple. In the early 90’s he started playing the Highland bagpipes and has had a longtime project with Lee Ranaldo and Tony Buck, Glacial. He has created a new vocabulary for the instrument, pushing the limits of space, sound and timbre. The Wire described his pipe compositions on Fingering an Idea, the project he made for Phill Niblock’s XI label as, “shimmering lines, piling-up like an old Terry Riley piece.” Similarly, Che Chen writing for Other Music, described “long form tonal explorations that can be so otherworldly and engrossing that the slight wheeze of the windbag that comes at the end of each piece can be a startling and oddly necessary reminder, that these sounds were created by human breath.” Inspired by processions, Watson has an ongoing project creating new-music for walking. This has led him to making theater pieces for the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, a composition for pipe bands in Tasmania, and for a large ensemble in a storage facility in Los Angeles. Phill Niblock’s piece “Bag” was made using Watson’s playing as source material, and they have performed it many times internationally.links at: http://firemuseumpresents.com/events/tony-buck-david-watson/Admission is FREE but donation for the artists would be greatly appreciated.

With a soft voice that can turn into a storm of rage and strumming strings, Line tackles the topic of depression caused by the consumption society. She composes Post-punk and Antifolk sometimes psychedelic songs with simple and quirky lyrics full of irony. “Music is a tool that helps me tame my anger and achieve self and deathacceptance.”Debora Dias: A Portuguese born, Philadelphia based artist, whose body of work focuses on the portrayal of figures, with themes and symbolism that speak directly to the phenomena of expressing the divine feminine on a nurturing and sensual level. Furthermore, her colorful and detailed abstract paintings tend create an impact on the viewer’s sense of liberation, and elicit an emotional response.Paulette Branson and Mixed People: A funky, soul fusion band with hints of rock and world music...or as we like to call it - new age funk. Versatile musicianship, raw lyrics, and full vocal harmonies create a genuine, mixed musical experience.

It embraces the love of self and others regardless of our differences and celebrates the beauty in us all. Mixed People is a Philadelphia-based band, founded by guitarist, Paulette Branson, in 2012. The music is progressive, and the energy and emotion behind this band will get you dancing on your feet and singing along.The Goddess Crew: A drumming troupe sprung out of parades and performances at a variety of burn events, including PEX and Firebird.
