DEEP TRASH in the Underworld

“Once upon a time, in the depths of East London, there was a red brick house known as the Workers’ Club... The story goes that the week before All Hallows’ Day, the building underwent a vicious queer spell. Horrifying monsters, creatures ascending from the dark and burnt witches were raised from their ashes. A dead forest started to grow through cracks in the walls, Voodoo rituals, profane ceremonials and wicked sorcery were performed until the sun sent them all back to the underworld.…”

Deep Trash is back with a reincarnation of a to-die-for night of live art! Punk witches, cruising and cursing, afro-futurist Voodoo, leaky rituals, feminist sigil magick, queer zombies, camp vampires, anti-capitalist hell-raising, blood-spilling… and many other supernatural experiences!

Dressing up, skin shedding or shape-shifting highly encouraged!

The venue will be open from 8pm, with a 1 hour curated screening on loop, an exhibition area, interactive installations and all-night performances reflecting occult themes. #DTunderworld
