40 November 2016 www.bahrainthismonth.com afterdark happenings Ladies and gentlemen, patrons of the arts, welcome to Requiem II – Techno Poetry! Requiem is an unique fusion of music, poetry and art which ambitiously seeks to meld these three rivers of creative expression into one exquisitely mixed masterwork of an evening. Featuring Sandra Knight and Captain Tea of Patio Republic and Ali bakhtiar of Teknologik, it promises an immersive evening of dark, atmospheric techno of an intricate, complex, evocative variety. Words of poetry and literature, the carriers of ideas and emotions, will be carefully chosen and artfully mixed into the music by the stars of the night. And where words go, so too follow images; the three performers will curate the artworks that have moved them over the years, and representations of these selected works will be on display on projectors and on the walls of the venue. Entry is free for girls, guys pay BD5 after 10pm. Call 36 370-261. Head to this Japanese favourite for the worldwide launch of Tonight from DJ Jackson featuring Two Akcent and Dollarman.
