'I Will Never Understand: Dissolving The Fragmented Self' is a one-off, multidisciplinary event, developed to launch the new video for t l k's 'IWNU', the second track from their debut EP, Strength In Tenderness.

‘IWNU’ centres around a repeating phrase, ‘I Will Never Understand’; an inner dialogue mulling the fragmented nature of selfhood. We are human in our multiplicity, and trauma has a tendency to surface as different – sometimes dissonant – ‘parts’. While we embody one, we fail to understand the mindset and behaviours of our more fractious selves, resulting in turbulent cycles of internal conflict, shaping our human identities and how we exist in the world. Ultimately, in acknowledging the fragmented self as a paradox of universal consciousness, we bathe in the dissolve of selfhood entirely.

Expanding the sonic themes of the track to a full performance, t l k is joined by Berlin-based dancer Tarli Lumby and second-generation paint marbler Maisie Brett, stretching IWNU's premise into Dareshack's studio, where the video was primarily filmed. Following a screening of the music video, the night will conclude with a panel discussion with the full crew, unravelling 'the making of' through behind the scenes stills and audience questions.
