Tanzquartier Wien

is a Sydney-born violist who grew up in Vienna. Her performances – as much disruptive as refined – are characterised by intense and highly emotive soundscapes. As the evening’s opener, she will present a new series of works featuring arrangements of Jean Sibelius and Gustav Mahler’s symphonies.

originally a performance artist, dancer, director, and video artist with an academic background in computer science and performance, is a nomadic woman from Crete, now based in Berlin. She’s had many collaborators like SOPHIE, Rabit, Rui Ho and Juliana Huxtable – the latter lending her poetry across the latest record. Her live gigs – between concert and performance art – are full of theatricality and sensuality. Abyss X is also the founder of the Nature Loves Courage Festival in Crete and has released on labels like Danse Noire, Halcyon Veil and AD 93.

works at the intersection of music, philosophy, and performance. Her music fades meditative, harmonic-drenched strings, giving way to her staggeringly beautiful, soft vocals. She studied at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels and has performed her work at theatres and festivals across Europe. FRANKIE has worked with Anne Imhof since 2014 a. o. Faust at the 2017 Venice Biennale. In 2019, she joined Holly Herndon’s vocal ensemble. In 2020, she completed her PhD at the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP), London. Her monograph is forthcoming at Bloomsbury Publishing, and her next EP will be released in October 2023. She played concerts at Volksbühne Berlin, CCA (Berlin), Cafe Oto (London), Frankfurt Kunstverein, Kaserne Basel, a. o.

is a musician and sound designer based in Vienna. In 2016, he founded Amen Records, a label exploring the boundaries of electronic music genres, and kicked off his musical career with his debut EP Inalienable Lights of White Tomorrows. At the beginning of this year, Hunt released Whisper: Wisps of Time on the Vienna-based label Plot Toy. Stylistically, the EP draws from many genres, such as Ambient, Drone, Classical, Trance, Shoegaze and Witch House. While his first records reflect experimentation with the energy of heavier percussion and distorted guitars, his debut album We Meet In Reverie, released at Unseelie, is an emotional deep dive through a sea of ethereal synth pads.

is an Estonian choreographer and artist who graduated from SNDO in Amsterdam in 2016. She creates visual-performative works that place her body in the epicentre regardless of the chosen medium. She is one of the founding members of the international art collective Young Boy Dancing Group. Metsalu has collaborated with and performed for Tino Sehgal, Michele Rizzo, Nils Amadeus Lange and Gelatin, a. o. Her new performance Kultuur (sound by Artjom Astrov, text by Jaakko Pallasvuo, costumes by Kris Lemsalu) is co-produced by Kanuti Gildi SAAL, Tallinn, TOASTER Copenhagen, Kiasma Theatre, Helsinki, and SPIELART Theatre Festival, Munich, and will premiere in late October 2023.

was a regular performer in the nightlife of Amsterdam, where she studied at SNDO before she moved to Vienna. She has toured various music, dance and theatre festivals around Europe and the U.S. There are no recordings of the music; the material is created live in the moment. The Sweden-born choreographer, performance artist, drummer and singer explores what a ‘sounding body’ can be in a repertoire of solo performances. At times, she creates growling monologues, ventriloquist songs and dinosaur calls.

made a name for herself in a globally networked art and culture movement during the rapid expansion of social media in the early 2010s. The experimental musician’s engagement with the ontology of sound led to sound art exhibitions in Tokyo and performing art collaborations in Cologne and Oslo. Her seminal album Seapunk was released via Aphex Twin’s Rephlex Records and marked the beginning of a series of primarily club-oriented works. Recently, Ultrademon has focused on more sonically darker pieces, vocal and stage performance, occasionally drawing from medieval keys, focusing on ritual practice and animist cosmologies. Her latest album Aethi was released on the Berlin-based Transatlantic label. She lives and works in Berlin as an artist and composer for the performing arts.
