From the Lips to the Moon: NOISE COMPLAINT
December 5, 2025 @ 7:30 PM - 11:30 PM
Event Navigation
From the Lips to the Moon returns to Cafe OTO for an electrifying long-form improvisation of music and words led by live-electronic music wizard Pouya Ehsaei and voice-shifting performer-writer Tara Fatehi.
Each From the Lips to the Moon show features a fresh lineup of guest musicians and poets, creating an intimate yet expansive space of playfulness and transformation. For this Cafe OTO edition Pouya and Tara are joined by the spellbinding percussionist Mauritzio Ravalico, poet and national slam winner Maureen Onwunali and more TBA.
This event marks the launch of a new poetry publication featuring writings by Tim Etchells, Nisha Ramayya, Tara Fatehi, Belinda Zhawi, Maureen Onwunali, and more.
Weaving together live electronics, unearthly melodies, noise, twisted beats, performative poetry, heavy subs, and non-stories told in goosebumps and half-familiar languages, the night invites audiences into a space where dark fantasy, experimentation, and unexpected encounters unfold. Since 2022, From the Lips to the Moon has become a driving force in London’s experimental performance scene, with past shows at Southbank Centre, V&A Museum, Cafe OTO, 180 Studios, Sophiensaele, Teatro Lucido, NTS and Soho Radio. www.lipstomoon.com
