makemake presents Ecstatica feat. Cuéntame
About This Event
makemake presents Ecstatica pairs the Makemakes, an Austrian pop-rock band who represented Austria at Eurovision 2015, with Cuéntame, the long-running Spanish prime-time television drama (2001–2023). At National Sawdust the bill places these disparate cultural lineages—pop-rock songwriting and serialized television history—into an electronic program, framing a cross-disciplinary encounter rather than a conventional concert or screening.
