CHAOS BALLAD (2022)

Welcome to the pathetic world of Samir Campaign - nobodies favourite sad fuck faggot clown. It’s the fin de la soirée, his inauguration into the world of the living.

He rehearses and rehearses and rehearses a never ending rehearsal for a show that will never be. What vortex of sadness will he be sucked into now, and in turn suck you into along with him?

Patsy Cline recorded Crazy while still on crutches, two weeks after being thrown through the windshield of a car in a horrific car accident (cars didn't have seatbelts back then).

Patsy Cline died in a plane crash 90 km from her home when her pilot decided to continue on despite the bad weather. The crash site was looted and her fee for the show she had just performed and the dress she sang in that night were never recovered.

Patsy Cline loved a drink. My mum loves Patsy Cline.

CHAOS BALLAD lurks somewhere between concert, cabaret and nightmare.
We bear witness to the attempts of Samir Campaign as he just keeps on keeping on going in a world filled with terror and the terror of boredom and the boredom of terror. It’s an attempt to condense a feeling. It’s an attempt at formalising a feeling. You tell me if you feel anything ey.
