19.00-19.30
Sound improvisation
Angelina Petrovic and Ola Sandberg will explore the space and its resonances, using improvisation to engage both with the room and with each other. This performance circles around sharing what is being found while at the same time treating the event, with an increased amount of listeners, as a moment of exploration in itself.
20.00-21.00
Dance performance
Frédéric Gies warms up our new home at Fuxia 2 with a remix of movements and gestures from their extensive choreographic archives. They will also share a work in progress of Dans (Sverige), a new piece that revisits and transforms past dances as much as it embraces the subversive power of the figure of the fool.
Angelina Petrovic is a flautist who plays with the tension between exposure, gaze, and agency through sound and movement. She generates an unstable field of noise and attention where the flute functions as an instrument for measuring breath, gesture, motion, and physical space.
Ola Sandberg is a Malmö-based musician, composer and sound artist focusing on sound as phenomena rather than symbol. Working with improvisation, intonation and tonal clusters as tools for practising listening and exploring the inherent properties of sound. Sandberg also works with architectural spaces as listening devices, musical instruments and compositional elements.
Frédéric Gies is a choreographer and dancer based in Malmö who has been active in the European performance scene for the past three decades. Their practice draws from classical ballet, contemporary dance history and rave culture, blending gestures seemingly foreign to one another.
