Stich & Bitch<br />
Stich & Bitch<br />
Opera performance / Sweden, USA<br />
Stich & Bitch är fem kvinnliga operasångare från olika delar av<br />
Sverige samt USA. Verket med samma namn arbetades fram<br />
tillsammans med Carina Reich och Bogdan Szyber under att antal<br />
svettiga veckor och framfördes till stort jubel på Folkoperans<br />
Operafestival i mars i år. Ambitionen är att ge svar på några<br />
av livets viktigaste frågor: Hur förena polyuretan och Puccini?<br />
Finns det plats i livspusslet att både återvinna och övervinna?<br />
Hur avgörs om konst är fin eller ful? Upplev hur de fem plastiga<br />
brudarna i Stich & Bitch gör slarvsylta av begreppet skräpkultur!<br />
..................................................................................................................................................................<br />
Stich & Bitch is five female opera singers from around Sweden<br />
and the United States. The production with the same name was<br />
created together with Carina Reich and Bogdan Szyber during<br />
a few sweaty weeks and was first shown in March this year at<br />
the Operafestival at Folkoperan in Stockholm. The ambition<br />
is to answer a few of life’s most important questions: How to<br />
unify polyurethane and Puccini? Can you fit both recycling and<br />
reclaiming into your life? How is it determined which art is good<br />
or bad? Experience how the five plastic babes of Stich & Bitch<br />
turns the concept of trash culture into mincemeat!<br />

TRANSIT<br />
Stefanie Sixt & Markus Mehr<br />
Opera – Music / Germany<br />
Konstnärens tolkning av den fysiska dödens olika nivåer och<br />
frågan om det finns ett själsligt liv efter döden är manifesterat<br />
i “Transit”. Det visuella är främst baserat på animerade fotografier<br />
av ljusreflektioner. Musikkompositionen, baserad på<br />
upprepning av två musikaliska motiv, påminner om mantran.<br />
Huvuddelen domineras av ljus, frid och harmoni. Däremot<br />
består introduktionen, mitten och slutet av långsamt uppbyggda<br />
konglomerat av ljud, oharmoniska, oroliga och monotoma. Ljuden<br />
är skapade med hjälp av en gitarr, iPhone, laptop och andra<br />
analoga verktyg.<br />
..................................................................................................................................................................<br />
The artist’s interpretation of the diverse levels of physical death<br />
and the question of spiritual life after death is manifested in<br />
“Transit“. The visuals are most of the times based on animated<br />
photographs of light reflections. Unreal rooms are created and<br />
open up room for the viewers’ interpretation, depending on<br />
her or his status of experience and knowledge. The musical<br />
composition is based on a repetetive layering of two musical<br />
motives, reminding of mantras. The main part is dominated<br />
by the resplendence, peace and the harmonic moment of the<br />
piece. Introduction, center and conclusion on the other side are<br />
consisting of slowly built up sound conglomerates – disharmonic,<br />
restless and monotone. The sounds are created by guitar, iPhone,<br />
laptop and analog effect devices.<br />

ALLOTMENT<br />
LEIBNIZ<br />
Performance / Germany, United Kingdom<br />
ALLOTMENT är tänkt som meditation över temat “död och<br />
återuppståndelse”, presenterad i en serie enkla handlingar<br />
och bilder som, med en hänvisning till naturliga fenomen och<br />
flora och fauna i en lummig trädgård, fokuserar på artistens<br />
kropp som uttrycksfullt medium. ALLOTMENT utforskar<br />
mänsklighetens “lott”, samtidigt som det tar en sidotitt på<br />
misslyckande och lidande som kreativa processer.<br />
..................................................................................................................................................................<br />
ALLOTMENT is conceived as a meditation on the theme<br />
of ‘death and resurrection’, presented as a series of simple<br />
actions and images, which – while obliquely referring to natural<br />
phenomena and the flora and fauna of a humble garden – focus<br />
on the performer’s body as expressive medium. ALLOTMENT<br />
explores ‘the lot’ of humanity, while taking a sideways look at<br />
‘failure’ and ‘suffering’ as creative processes.<br />

ANY SLIGHT MARK<br />
ANY SLIGHT MARK<br />
Sound performance art work / Italy, Sweden<br />
Vi sväljer små mikrofoner som är kopplade till hörlurar. Du är<br />
inbjuden att lyssna på insidan av våra kroppar. ANY SLIGHT<br />
MARK är ett försök att expandera perception och idén om<br />
beröring genom skapandet av två sammankopplade ljudverk,<br />
ett som fokuserar på den mänskliga kroppen och ett annat<br />
som fokuserar på rum. På <strong>Stoff</strong> presenterar vi den första delen,<br />
“body”.<br />
..................................................................................................................................................................<br />
We swallow small microphones connected to headphones. You<br />
are invited to listen to the insides of our bodies. ANY SLIGHT<br />
MARK is an attempt to expand perception and the notion of<br />
touch through the creation of two linked sound pieces, one<br />
focusing on the human body and the other one on space. At <strong>Stoff</strong><br />
we are performing the first part, “body”.<br />
