First time at BA
Octopoulpe, from Seoul, South Korea, delivers a blend of hardcore punk and core genres in the form of a thrilling audiovisual show. The artistic stylization of this half-naked creature, who uses his tentacles to control the drums, lights, and video projections around him, creates a complex audiovisual experience. Thanks to the projections, he shares the stage with his digital alter egos and special guests, creating a unique live performance that combines music, audiovisual technology, and creativity. This interactive experience—comprising sound, video, and lights—is synchronized and interconnected with his drum set, which serves as a tool for interacting with the audience, who become an essential part of and the driving force behind his performance. Beyond the boundaries of this apparent chaos, his performances take on a performative form, and original, cohesive stories unfold on stage.
