Dora Bleu, Periklis Tsoukalas & Cedrik Fermont create dreamlike atmospheres that explore imperialized psychic struggles against reproducing colonial realities. The trio has recently created an emotionally intense being of sound, tone, noise, music and voice, set to arrive on Syrphe later this year.
