S O UN D | | n g is a long durational performance that will be shown at TAC Berlin, as part of the project FEAR, NO FEAR. It reflects the experience of a friend’s death who, living in exile, died separated from his closest friends and relatives. Aware of the deep connections people hold despite physical distance, the work dwells on the collectivity of death. 

Could conversation about such a sensitive topic contribute to keeping memory alive? 

The work focuses on a repetitious quality of performances, as potential for "life after death". 
During the duration of the performance, I will fold 99 origami rats. A symbol of hope for survival, but also gesture that prepares for death. 
Created in the "Year of the Rat", it is a tribute to those people who died in hindsight of the last months’ confinement. 

The project FEAR, NO FEAR focuses on the present global state of collective fear and anxiety and unfolds in three chapters at Times Art Center Berlin from April – July, 2021.

commissioned and kindly supported by TAC Berlin 

The project FEAR, NO FEAR was initiated by Huang Xiaopeng and 
Co-curated by Dorothee Albrecht, Antje Majewski and Stefan Rummel 
The curatorial team invited artists across generations, from the 1960s to the 1990s, to present their works on the complex spectrum of themes mentioned above, with the artistic media spanning sculpture, installation, video, performance, painting and photography. The artists of diverse international backgrounds are predominately based in Berlin, as well as Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Hangzhou and the Pearl River Delta; one young performance artist is based in Yaoundé. Many of these practitioners have been exploring the theme of fear from their individual perspective for a long time. 
In our current, complex realities, it is not unusual that fear takes hold of our bodies. We encounter difficulties breathing because of anxiety. This may originate in “objective” immediate threats and dangers, or in psychological factors. This condition leads to further anxiety about an uncertain and unpredictable future.

Ein Raumschiff treibt zwischen Planeten und Galaxien, zwischen dem Vergangenen, Vergessenen und Verlorenen – mitten durchs Nichts. Oder ist da doch etwas? Um das Schiff wieder zum Laufen zu bringen, erforscht die Crew den Umgang mit dem Unbekannten und bewegt sich dabei durch zähe, filigrane, rieselnde Materien. Sie testet Narrationen des Entdeckens, Erzählungen von Fortschritt und Beschreibungen des Fremden. Welchen Aggregatzustand haben unsere Identitäten? Die Performance „Sticky Matter“ heißt Sie zu dieser Mission willkommen an Bord. Bewahren Sie Ruhe und bleiben Sie wachsam.

In the darkness of the blackbox, two women approach 
each other with a camera. They are watching themselves, how they touch and caress their bodies, how they 
experiment and play with different liquids. Smoldering, vibrant sounds are looming, an electric crackling 
flashes up and descends. 
"tell me your searchwords" is an exploration of two female bodies during 
masturbation, an erotic experimental short film.

Auf 2,7 Mio. Jahre angehäufte Dinge und eigentümliche Bedürfnisse können die Menschen zurückblicken. Alle Dinge, die zu uns gehören, alle Dinge, die verloren sind, alle Dinge, die wir wahrscheinlich niemals brauchen, die uns aber retten könnten. Und noch eins und noch eins und noch eins. Unsere Körper sind unter den Dingen. 
Auf der Suche nach neuen Verhältnissen versammelt sich die Gruppe äöü zur Anfertigung einer utopischen Bestandsliste. Im Zentrum steht eine niemals versiegende Heilsquelle, ein unwahrscheinlicher Ort an dem sich alle, wirklich alle Dinge treffen.

In this performance, the coming together of people is simulated as an emergency. So instead of preparing for an emergency, we meet to examine our coming together itself. We take apart gestures and positions and (re)assemble them anew. We sound out how we relate to each other and how we could relate to each other differently. A known situation becomes an unknown construction. Can we rehearse the serious case?

Concept & Performance: Felix Falczyk, Johanna Herschel

It is not what you see, but how you see and when you can’t see. The gaps filled with imagination, the sensations storming and informing you, the imprints you hold on to, the drifting of your attention. 

A lose thread, a missing link, a connection detached and rewired. Warped, then messed up, to get lost in yet another fabrication. Something moves there, suspended in a near distance. 

warp turns on by turning off, the theatre inverted: the audience sits in pulsing light while the stage remains dark. Bodies move amongst reflective fabrics, casting the light back at them. Weaves wired with touch sensors whisper a cacophony of stories and sounds. Fingers slip and slide in-between bodies, materials, textures and technologies, weaving choreographies of DIY e-textiles, text, sound, images and codes – to warp the realities fabricated by them.

warp is a cooperation between Gry Tingskog and Künstlerhaus Mousonturm, the MA in Choreography and Performance within the frame of Hessian Theatre Academy (HTA) with support from Kulturamt Gießen.

When does time pass by extremely slowly? When extremely quickly? Although it always passes the same way – one hour, 60 minutes, 3600 seconds – not a single day goes by at the same pace as the one before it. After being able to show the media project - consisting of a performance, a short movie and an installation - within various international festivals over the last two years, we are happy to announce that after four more film festivals this year, our short movie is going to be exhibited within the Sidewalk Gallery at the Fountain Street Gallery in Bosten, USA! It was created and executed by Michelle Koprow and Laura-Marie Preßmar, who just founded the collective Koprow&Preßmar, in cooperation with Davida Brown.
