Radio Gagarin: Experiments in Sunday Socialism
Notting Hill Arts Club, 21 Notting Hill Gate, London W12
6pm – 1a.m. £5.
After another total roadblock, Radio Gagarin is back with the next in a
series of regular Gypsy Balkan Russian Klezmer socialist shakedowns at the
NHAC. The Commissar pledges exclusive new music from Oi Va Voi plus special
guests, performance and djs.
Co-Produced by Adrian Philpott/ Oi Va Voi / Taskovski Films / YaD Arts /
Ziggurat.
PLUS – check out Taskovski Film’s award-winning Czech Dream, showing at the
ICA from this weekend. Czech Dream follows two film students who used a
state grant to promote the opening of an entirely fictitious big-box
mega-market in a Prague field. The resulting scandal, alternately hilarious
and discomfiting, illuminates the waking nightmare of consumerism in a
country still adjusting to the strengths and pitfalls of the concept.
