‘Poetry for protest, dance for disorder’ is the slogan of South African hip-hop veteran and word artist Iain Ewok Robinson and French machine wizard and composer Charles Amblard. In Eon the Mod, Ewok shares his lyrical thoughts on truth, which the musical Amblard enhances with groovy sounds and visuals. With this spoken word performance, these rebels will make you think about the world we live in.
