NTS Parallel Visions #9

WELCOME TO SUBARU WORLD: THE FIRST EXPERIENCE

An underwater world created through sonic audio and visuals. Cruel Santino curates an immersive experience showcasing and revealing all the members of the Subaru Boys, a faction created by the government to carry out its dirtiest and dangerous jobs in the sea world

Cruel Santino (formerly known as Santi) commemorates the one-year anniversary of his landmark concept album Subaru Boys: FINAL HEAVEN through an exclusive installation and live experience that explores the narrative behind the album.

For the first time, the speculative fiction of Santino’s Subaru world will be brought to life through projection mapping in an immersive installation in the Theatre. Meet the aquatic cast of Santino’s Subaru: Amina, Bloodthirst, Founding Lady, Klaire, Masuki, Misty, Nisaru, Onaru, Sion X, Sochi, Tapenga and Matilda. 

This event marks the return of NTS’ audiovisual series Parallel Visions, with generous support from Arts Council England.
Inspired by tough-to-pigeonhole electronic and indie artists from Owl City to Santigold, fused with music from his roots, Cruel Santino has the freedom to fuse genres. He’s released a handful of mixtapes, including Suzie’s Funeral (2016) under the Ozzy B guise, before adopting the Santi nom de plume for Mandy & the Jungle (2019), which featured guests spots from DRAM, Tay Iwar, Shane Eagle, Kida Kudz, and GoldLink, among others. After signing to Interscope and founding his Monster Boy imprint in 2020, he debuted as Cruel Santino that June with the track ‘End of the Wicked’. Two years later he released the ambitious Subaru Boys: Final Heaven, a sci-fi concept LP that included features from Skepta, Amaarae, Koffee, and Gus Dapperton.
