EDGLRD, a multimedia design collective, has announced its experimental tour for Harmony Korine‘s latest film “Aggro Dr1ft.” The tour’s first stop is at the strip club Crazy Girls in Los Angeles on Feb. 7, with an additional date the next day.
“Aggro Dr1ft” debuted at the Venice Film Festival last fall, followed by runs in Toronto and New York. The film chronicles a Miami Beach hitman as he relentlessly pursues his next target — shot entirely through an infrared lens. The first screening of the tour will also have live DJ sets and visuals by EDGLRD.
“The distribution of ‘Aggro Dr1ft’ goes beyond the limitations of the outdated moviegoing experience,” EDGLRD head of film strategy and development Eric Kohn said in a statement. “You don’t just watch ‘Aggro Dr1ft’ — you step into a new world, and these events will allow audiences to immerse themselves in it.”
Following its Los Angeles strip club debut, EDGLRD will bring “Aggro Dr1ft” to unconventional venues across the country. Each location will use backdrops featuring creative visuals designed by EDGLRD to highlight the company’s animation and visual effects style. Musical performances from Korine and “Aggro Dr1ft” composer Araabmuzik will accompany the screenings. Additional music acts will be announced at a later date. Tickets will be available on DICE.
The Los Angeles screening comes after Harmony Korine’s debut solo show at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles, which showcased a new series of paintings drawn from “Aggro Dr1ft.” It also follows EDGLRD’s Boiler Room event earlier this month in Miami, marking Korine’s DJ debut with sets from “Aggro Dr1ft” composer Araabmuzik and rappers Yung Lean and BLP Kosher.
