A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
 
A live installation of the ‘Film Ist’: projected on 4 huge screens and an improvised soundtrack from 4 figureheads of the Austrian experimental music scene.
 
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
 
A confrontational and somehow shamanic stance; introspective silences shattered by savage jabs at the strings, whirlwind strums dying into spartan chords
