Biography

BB & Friends – Exit Comfort Zone!

Boaz Blume and Brendan Lodder are two deaf performers. Dutch Sign Language is their mother tongue. In ‘Exit Comfortzone’ they explore the possibilities offered by encounters between seemingly different worlds: sign language -the silent language of the deaf-, the language of dance and the language of music. What can they do with each other? To discover that, “exit comfort zone” is a prerequisite.

Sign language is often viewed from a social societal perspective. This concept wants to turn that image around by approaching sign language as an art form that inspires the musician and the dancer to then arrive at a fluid form in which equivalence and mutual inspiration shows itself.

Jackie Ashkin & Jedrzej Jedraszyk – None of Us Are Enjoying This

What is going on with the world today? Wars are fought, fires are raging, democracies are failing – and we all still have to go to work on Mondays.

Jackie and Jedrez take you through spoken word and soundscapes to a musical reminder about our collective fears. And well, none of us are enjoying this.

Pensive Vivifier  – Love is abundant

After two hours of doomscrolling, I notice that I am hungry. I open my refrigerator and decide what to eat. In less than a second, I switch from the digital to the physical world. When my thumb is not opening virtual gateways to the hollows of talking heads and cute cats, I notice feelings.

Love is Abundant is an immersive performance that explores the intersection between digital and physical worlds. Witness a mesmerizing mix of video art, performance, clubbing and song.
