PERFORMATIK 2015 - In his performances, the performer and singer Ivo Dimchev moves smoothly from one mood to the next, from rock star to prima donna. In Operville he develops his own version of the concept of opera. Expect vocal improvisation based on classical music, with several vocalists and performers on stage.

PERFORMATIK 2015 - In ||| (1) three artists have their own way of dealing with structures. They focus on movement, sound and image and look for the moment at which their actions coincide, run in synchronicity or are phased.

Stef Kamil Carlens has a thing about Dada. This concert performance is based on a film reconstructing a Dadaist performance at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, held in 1916. It contains all the elements that are used in Nothing That Is Everything: costumes, dance, music, rhythm, poetry, a confusion (of tongues) and humour. For this new performance Zita Swoon Group is collaborating with Jan Lauwers' Needcompany.

Ictus sets to work with some exceptional instruments, such as the notorious intonarumori of the futurist Luigi Russolo, and six simantra, percussion instruments used in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Sometimes the audience encircles the musicians, or vice versa. You will hear works by Mauro Lanza, Pierluigi Billone and a 60-minute tour de force by Michael Gordon (Bang on a Can).

Wings, a silent movie made in 1927, combines a romantic plot with impressive images of air battles from the First World War. Eric Sleichim and BL!NDMAN [drums] present its screening with a selection of percussion music from the 20th and 21st centuries, with turntables and live electronics.

Four dirty, down and out, androgynous cowboys adopt the ritual poses from the Western genre. Gradually their actions come to resemble an odd kind of dance. Screening of a new film by the Danish artist Joachim Koester, with a live concert by Miles Whittaker (Demdike Stare).

In the early seventies Franz West created his first adaptives or portable sculptures. Using these sculptures, Ivo Dimchev created the solo I-on, followed by the group performance X-on, for which West made new, bigger adaptives. The bodies of the performers and the art objects enter into a unique relationship.
