gookow from Troillia by Kemper Norton

Gookow, from Goky – fool:

"Dancers form lines (or circles indoors) hand in hand, One Man dances in and out of the arches and arms are brought down to catch him.

"creating something moving, eerie and somewhat chilling out of almost nothing.” – The Wire

“The music of Kemper Norton streaks across the ages like a tipsy beachcomber, enthusiastically and expertly skipping across time’s tide ...” – The Quietus
