Our Weekly Picks: March 28-April 3
Filastine
Could there be anything more emblematic of the "global economy" — its giddy consumerism, its nomadic promise, its horrid displacement — than the lowly shopping cart? Audio-visual percussionist Filastine makes the shopping cart central to his transnational electro bass music project, zinging, plucking, and kicking its ribs to turn a metaphor into a dance party of resistance. His amazing latest video, "Colony Collapse," was filmed at several sites of ecological disaster, pairing with the sites' residents to make a fractured song of despair and hope. His live stage show, this appearance opening for Bay Area electro-jazz-hop collective Beats Antique, couples virtuoso live drumming and electronic grooves with a visual spectacle that holds crowds spellbound, a neat complement to the mobile dance parties and sonic activism he's renowned for leading, from Tokyo to Barcelona.
