24 травня о 23:00 в клубі Underground (Коперника 17) відбудеться вечірка з нагоди закриття Восьмого львівського міжнародного фестивалю короткометражних фільмів WIZ-ART

Alexander Krolikowski & и Alexandra Krolikowska (вони також Plasticfantasic and Electric Psychedelic Pyssycat, також Squirrel Institute) – одні з найбільш таємничих представників авангардної сцени. Декілька років тому тому дует можна було почути на кримських open-air, потім став резидентом Palace Club в Гоа.

Проте після відвідання індійського міста Варанасі поведінка дуету різько змінилася, і з музичних виступів зникла будь-яка послідовность і логіка. Якщо до того на кримських фестивалях і в Гоа дует грав Techno-Trance і J-Core, то зараз андрогін, який живе в двох тілах (саме так кличуть себе учасники дуета) не визнає кордонів стилю.

Нікому невідомо, що відбудеться наступним разом: можливо, це буде мрачний сінті-панк, натхненний містиками з Can, а може, електронно – музичний перфоманс, чи легкий и повітряний DJ-set. Схоже на те, що Олександр и Олександра керуються принципами, які тримають в строгому секреті, не звертаючи уваги на диявольські спокуси шоу-бізнесу.
