A semi-improvised acoustic and electronic performance distills the affects and experiences culminated over the course of the visit. This is not a traditional Xiu Xiu set, but a special performance composed and performed just for this artist visit.
A shuttle bus is provided on the island side by the organizers of this event. It will leave from the island’s ferry dock to the hotel at 7:30pm (catch the 7pm boat from Kingston to make it on this shuttle) and head back to the ferry from the hotel for those hoping to catch the 10:30pm boat back to Kingston.
