RADIO WHALES (performance)

When the sun goes down, the frequency shifts. Whales come closer to the shore, dance and cruise amongst the human partygoers and other night creatures. Radio Whales is a performative concert that channels the pulse of the deep. Bodies move like liquid, beats echo like sonar, and the night vibrates with underwater frequencies.

Check out this sexy plancton! Slip into your fish scales as if it was your most fabulous evening dress - or your fav kinky outfit! Feel your shark’s fin grow and weave your flippers, feel the current, and let yourself be carried by the tide. Hydrate, resonate, and surrender. When the whales start singing, the dance begins!

Radio Whales was premiered in August 2024 on Hošek Contemporary Gallery - Berlin and toured to Oise (France) and Prague. It was awarded of 2nd Hošek Contemporary Price and Fond Transfabrik of French Institute Berlin.

SCI-FI ANATOMY (workshop)

SCI FI ANATOMY (SFA) is a guided somatic trip where the content slides from anatomical references onto the slippery slope of science fiction. A dialogue between the matter of the body and the sea of thoughts and imagination with movement, sounds and words. It explores and challenges the boundaries of fiction/reality. The way we imagine shapes, identity, borders, the self and the body affect our relation to the world, to ourselves and otherness.

SFA narratives often manifest in a post-apocalyptic future somewhere in the deep sea of the universe. Climatic events, alien interventions and our own ecosystem of mystical creatures activate odd metamorphosis and interspecies hybridization. Time and spaces are mashed and stretched. Bones melt like butter, blood streams grows like coral, humans-dolphins species and the moon divorce the earth with “Waterworld” sorrow aftermath.
