156 live in Prague

Experience 156 live on October 14th

156 is a musical project primarily characterized by dark ambient, noise, and industrial soundscapes, often incorporating elements of power electronics and experimental music. The artist’s work frequently explores themes of decay, isolation, and the darker aspects of human experience through heavily textured and often unsettling compositions. Releases are typically distributed through independent labels specializing in extreme electronic music.

Archa Theatre, located in Prague, Czechia, is a significant venue for contemporary and alternative performing arts. Originally a mechanical theatre built in 1935, it underwent extensive reconstruction in the 1990s and has since become known for its multidisciplinary programming encompassing theatre, dance, visual arts and music. The venue's unique architectural features – including its historical machinery still visible within the space – contribute to its distinctive atmosphere.

The designation “+(Support For Swans)” indicates that this event is part of a series at Archa Theatre specifically dedicated to showcasing artists aligned with the aesthetic sensibilities of the band Swans. This curated program focuses on experimental and challenging musical acts that share common ground with Swans’ blend of post-rock, industrial, and apocalyptic soundscapes. The series aims to provide a platform for similar artists gaining visibility within the Czech Republic and wider European scene.
