MUTANT GOAT (PL,UK) – Ola Kozioł, Andrew Dixon, Suavas Lewy

Assembly Hall, 6 Kolegialna Street

MUTANT GOAT, a duo formed in 2013 and a trio since 2018, is a musical phenomenon that eludes easy classifications. It combines Ola Goat’s poignant white voice with the long supersonic produced by the big stick – a unique single-string chordophone created and operated by Andrew Dixon – and the pulsating-repetitive accompaniment of Suavas Levy’s recycled drum kit. Their improvised sets draw their energy directly from their surroundings and the topics they are meant to address – they are like a sonic séance, the shape of which depends on the place, time and keynote.

Mutant Goat has performed in caves, a disused synagogue, a witch’s prison, a stone circle, a prehistoric mound and a geological crevice, among other places, often – completely without human participation.

In Plock, their music will become a prayer and a cry of Water, a cry for salvation.

Ola wrote lyrics that give voice to poisoned rivers, drying springs and the oceans that remember everything.

It will be a manifesto of water consciousness and an artistic commentary on the alarmingly deteriorating hydrological situation – increasingly low surface and groundwater levels, longer and longer periods of drought and our – people’s – silence.
