On the occasion of the European premiere of Ulysses Jenkins: Without Your Interpretation, renowned composer and saxophonist Matana Roberts played a 30-minute, responsive concert in our cinema.

Matana Roberts is an internationally renowned composer, band leader, saxophonist, and mixed-media practitioner. Working across improvisation, new music composition, art, dance, poetry, and theatre, Roberts is perhaps best known for their acclaimed Coin Coin project—a multi-chapter work that aims to channel the mystical roots and spirit-raising traditions of American creative expression, while maintaining a deep and substantive engagement with narrativity, history, community, and political expression within improvisatory musical structures.
