SUMMARY:Space Afrika: Opera Omnia
DESCRIPTION:Space Afrika\, Jumbo Records and Hyde Park Picture House are pr
 oud to present an exclusive Q&A\, signing + film screening of their bold a
 rthouse film\, Opera Omnia. This unique event celebrates the release of th
 eir new album Quiet Storm\, on DAIS Records. The Q&A portion of the event 
 will be hosted by NTS resident\, polytype records founder\, edv3ctor.\n\nO
 pera Omnia\, directed by Valentin Noujaim\, was shot on 35mm and 16mm film
  using surveillance cameras. It unfurls a dreamlike atmosphere carried by 
 the haunting melodies and evocative soundscapes of the Space Afrika duo. I
 nspired by Dante Alighieri's Inferno\, the film follows the night journey 
 of two young black boys through the abandoned industrial spaces of Manches
 ter\, taking forgotten souls back to life. The deserted places are haunted
  by an opera singer (Axelle Fanyo)\, who lends a ghostly\, lyrical presenc
 e to this melancholy universe.\n\nLulled by their voices reciting verses f
 rom Dante's Inferno\, the film explores industrial landscapes imbued with 
 the memories of vanished workers\, often replaced in cities obsessed with 
 transformation and the erasure of the past. As they wander through Manches
 ter's urban labyrinth\, the two protagonists' encounters and experiences r
 eveal an inner quest for their identity and place in the world.\n\nCombini
 ng live performance\, video and sound installation\, this immersive audiov
 isual experience transports viewers into the heart of a sonic and visual o
 dyssey.\n\nSpace Afrika will be in conversation with edv3ctor about the im
 mersive film\, and the making of their new album\, Quiet Storm\, out Septe
 mber 25th on Dais Records.\n\nDetails and tickets: https://mulch.info/even
