Zorras were a multimedia performance troupe based in Edinburgh, Scotland from 2007 to 2013.[1] They emerged from the city's alternative poetry and music scenes in 2008, and performed at some of the most renowned international counterculture locations and events. Zorras were part of growing queer, LGBT, feminist and disabled/crip cultural movements in Scotland, and instrumental in raising awareness of disabled and D/deaf access in LGBTQ+ and arts communities. They created artworks that explored issues of language, sexuality, gender, race, class, mental health and disability.
Zorras' founding members were Sandra Alland and Y Josephine. Other collaborators included Ariadna Battich, Nathan Gale and Gord Disley. Alland wrote and performed the text, Josephine wrote and performed the music, and Alland and Battich created films. Gale and Disley performed as guest musicians on various occasions.
Zorras were most known for their live performances, where they often added video to their fusion of music and poetry. Some of Zorras' most distinguishing elements were the use of sound poetry, cajón and megaphones; they also implemented guitar, props and bilingual (English-Spanish) storytelling.
Zorras produced one CD ("We Apologise For Any Inconvenience", 2009) and one EP ("Doctor Says", 2012), both with the indie label Minor Assault Records. Zorras co-founded Cachín Cachán Cachunga! in 2009, a queer and trans performance and visual art event curated by Alland. Alland's commitment to disabled and D/deaf access led to Zorras captioning their videos and hiring British Sign Language interpreters and wheelchair-accessible spaces for events they produced.[2]
In autumn of 2009, ultimatemetal.com said of Zorras: "A very unique [sic] mix of poetry, music, stories and just plain weird. The poetry was sharp and funny, the placement effective, the visuals fitting; a rather unforgettable experience."[3]
