🔥 This is musical and lyrical history of riot, enchantment and psychedelic testing where scholarship collides with live entertainment. Expect reverence and resistance from a time of slavery and war.
The Romantic movement rose as an act of defiance against empire, industry, and the mechanisation of the soul. What do their dreams of renewal offer our age of despair?
