Asparagus, an horticultural ballet

"Asking an artist to talk about his work is like asking a plant to discuss horticulture "
- Jean Cocteau


Pil and Galia Kollective are not a band.
They are a boy+girl duo who reside in London and are fond of Post-Marxist theory , knitting, baking and countercultural mythmaking.
Their latest work is a one off live performance piece inspired by rumour and myth.
In the late seventies War Pierogi (later of obscure New Yersey minimal synth band XEX) composed the interdisciplinary ballet while still a student. No documentatin of the piece esxists but Pil and Galia have become fascinated by the work , alongside another work Oscar Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet .They felt the ballet needed to be staged and chose Karl Marx Das Kapital as an arbitrary structure to dictate the movements while Canadian genius weirdoes Les Georges Leningrad provide the beats.
We can only but salute artists who make us feel like intellectuals while we're watching a bunch of vegetables hop around.
