About This Event
groove @ temperance | Tomas Doncker "Everybody's Black" takes place at Temperance in Leamington Spa on Sunday, 18 October 2026 at 2:00 PM. The event is a Work in Progress showcase featuring Tomás Doncker and The True Groove All-Stars, with atmospheric visuals and sonics by Imantús.
The performance is built around live music, poetry, and LED-screen visuals. It explores themes of race, mental health, isolation, identity, and global unrest through an Afro-futuristic backdrop that the description calls a “Real World/Future World” setting. The work uses the line “Everybody’s black when the lights go out” as a poetic device about equality in darkness, anonymity, and the search for sanity.
Temperance is located at 33 Bath Street, Leamington Spa, CV31 3AF, England, GB.
