Poems of Consumption is the acclaimed solo project by Lebanese composer, writer, and performer H.Sinno, best known as the lyricist and frontperson of Mashrou' Leila. Following acclaimed performances across Europe and North America, join us for a rare Canadian presentation presented by MARSM Canada and Aga Khan Museum.

Part concert, part multimedia performance, and part poetic meditation, Poems of Consumption explores the emotional contradictions of modern life through songs built from an unexpected source: Amazon customer reviews transformed into poetry. Partially inspired by Mark Fisher’s Capitalist Realism, Poems of Consumption is a song cycle covering themes like ennui, surveillance capitalism, heartbreak, boycotts, and orientalism, with compositions that juxtapose harsh electronica with the whimsy of a string quartet.

“From breathtaking vocals to compelling storytelling... a true feast for the senses.” - SceneNoise
