PROGRAM:

*Alexander Zehetbauer: Red-faced devil

A red-faced devil-like figure aqueously generates a live composition of looped voice and deep intuitive bass. A softly urgent search,
excavating the unknown to find a song in the room that can live
in joyous opposition to patriarchal and capitalistic structures of working. There is no product for you, only a path that begins with water in the mouth.

///

*Berivan Sayici: Hex Me

Living under patriarchy is slowly consuming and killing us, both figuratively and literately, it is absolutely essential to form solidarity. Sayici will use her performance as a way to create a bond with the audience, drawing them into her world by making them part of it.

*Zosia Hołubowska and Albertina Ajmaq: Red Witches. Hex. Revenge.
