Get your glow on for ‘Disaster Karaoke’,
a satirical one night special karaoke event and art project.
Sing about disaster, nuclear anxiety, political apocalypse and imagined utopias!
Disaster Karaoke is an interactive performance project and karaoke event that provokes conversation around current thoughts, fears and imaginings of dystopia/ utopia through performance of songs over the last decades that confront political and social crises.
The curated set list includes over ninety "disaster themed" songs such as Prince’s “1999” (1982), Everything Everything’s “Radiant” (2013), St. Vincent’s “The Apocalyse Song” (2007), New Zealand classics such as the Herbs’ “French Letter” (1982), Topp Twins, and Under the Shade’s “Home Brew” (2011).
