LCMF 2025
London Contemporary Music Festival
Where would we be without the trickster? Shapeshifter, border-crosser, mischief-maker, lord of misrule, god of the in-between, catcher of contingency, vandal, joker: they are our guide, our patron saint, our aesthetic saviour. For our 10th anniversary we turn to them: Reynard, Eshu, Coyote, Raven, Hermes, Loki, Brer Rabbit, Anansi. Call them what you will. You shall know them by their fruits.
And look what gleaming tools they possess for tripwiring reality. Through nearly 50 premieres and new commissions, exploring pranking, trolling and committing to the bit, obstinacy and obstruction, deception and cheek, shitpost modernism and omnicringe – via AI movies, pantos, a monotone symphony, a noise opera and the last sounds Plato heard – LET’S CREATE will celebrate the trickster spirit in music, art and film.
