IAIN SINCLAIR: HACKNEY ASCENSION DAY

with Kirsten Norrie;
sound installation by Susan Stenger

St Augustine's Tower | £8 adv | 2.30pm, 4pm, 5.30pm

Join cult author, poet and filmmaker Iain Sinclair for a one-of-its-kind, site-specific performance in Hackney’s oldest and most mysterious structure: the remains of the church of St Augustine’s. Sinclair will draw on his book Hackney, That Rose-Red Empire to uncover an alternative history of the borough. As you ascend to the roof of the Tower, a specially produced sound installation by Susan Stenger (Band of Susans, Nick Cave) and the haunting vocals of Kirsten Norrie take you on an adventure through a synthesis of live and recorded voices, erased texts and peripheral histories. A ghostly local history tour like no other.
