From the Lips to the Moon

An exquisite-inclusive-challenging-relaxing-empowering-exciting-mindbending night out in London. Expect riveting live music, twisted beats, absurd texts, fierce poetry and hypnotic visuals. Another unique line-up of poets and musicians coming up ... to be announced in a little while. Brace yourselves – it's our 2nd birthday too.

From the Lips to the Moon is a collaboration between live-electronic music wizard Pouya Ehsaei and voice-shifting writer-performer Tara Fatehi. Pouya and Tara curate From the Lips to the Moon as regular music and poetry nights at Reference Point where they invite poets, musicians and video artists to join them on stage in creating one-off live performances.
