Välkommen till det tredje födelsedagsfirandet av Stoff, en sprudlande scenkonstfestival som bjuder på mer än 100 oförglömliga akter från 40 länder. Under fyra dagar kommer ni att kunna ta del av nervkittlande teater, performance, musik, komedi, gatukonst, installationer, debatter, föreläsningar – något för alla smaker.

Welcome as we celebrate the third birthday of Stoff, a mischievous arts festival displaying over 100 acts from 40 countries for your delectation. During four thrilling days we give you the opportunity to enjoy spine-tingling theatre, performance, music, comedy, street art, installations, debates, talks and whatever else you feel suits your palate.

I fjol uppmärksammades Stoff stort i medierna, fick tidningsrubriker och satt i tv-soffor. Nya lovande artister visade sin passion och övertygelse, publiken svarade med engagemang och nyfikenhet. Våra förväntningar överträffades och Stockholms Fringefestival växte till något större än vi någonsin hade kunnat drömma om.

Last year saw Stoff making headlines in national media with both newspaper and TV coverage. Emerging artists showed their passion for what they do and the audience responded with curiosity and intrigue. We couldn’t have hoped for more, Stockholm’s fringe festival was growing into something beyond our imagination.

I år kan vi bli ännu bättre. Vi har tagit lärdom av våra äldre systerfestivaler runt om i världen, vi har lyssnat på feedback från artister och besökare, vilket har resulterat i att vi växer starkare på alla sätt. Vi lanserar kulturnätverket ”StoffNet” med föreläsningar, workshops och debatter med en uppsjö av inspirerande kulturprofiler. Vi är övertygade om att det kommer att bli ett kraftfullt, aktivt och kreativt nätverk för kulturintresserade världen över.

This year we know we can do even better. We have taken on board advice from our older brother and sister festivals as well as feedback from both artists and audiences, and, as a result, we are growing stronger in every respect. We are launching our network initiative ‘StoffNet’ featuring talks, workshops and debates with a range of inspiring industry personalities. We trust this will become a powerful creative network for anyone who is interested in the world of the arts.

Stoff skulle inte kunna genomföras utan det otroligt generösa stöd vi har fått från samarbetspartners som Stockholm Stad, olika kulturinstitutioner och myndigheter samt privatpersoner. Utöver det outsinliga stödet från Kulturhuset Stockholm ser vi också fram emot att samarbeta med Fri Scen Stockholms Stadsteater – ett spännande initiativ som vi hoppas kommer att blomstra och utvecklas under kommande år. Stoff 2012 arbetar också tillsammans med Håll Sverige Rent för att aktivt främja miljön och bli en grön festival.

Stoff cannot happen without the incredibly generous support we have had from our partners, government institutions and individuals alike. Along with our ever supportive cultural home, Kulturhuset Stockholm, we are thrilled to this year be associated with Fri Scen Stockholms Stadsteater – a relationship we hope will blossom for many years ahead. Stoff 2012 has also teamed up with Håll Sverige Rent to become a green festival (Miljömärkt Event), making it our goal to be industry leader by 2014.

Som vilken treåring som helst ser vi på världen med nyfikna ögon och vi bjuder in er att göra detsamma. Kom och var med om en riktigt annorlunda upplevelse … Förvänta er det oväntade.

Like any three-year-old we look at the world with curious eyes, and we invite you to do the same. Come and see something genuinely different and as always…expect the unexpected. Team Stoff

Art Under Construction – Rörlig grafik möter modern danskonst. Låt dig svepas med av dans, musik och rörlig grafik i samklang. Stanna till och titta medan du går till biblioteket eller fiket. Njut av en danspaus och återvänd till vardagen upplyft och inspirerad! Detta är en föreställning använder sig av “ramar” från den grafiska design världen som projiceras på väggen. Bilderna rör sig, byter form och försvinner. Detta verk är skapat av två dansare som bjuder in dig till att se resultatet. .................................................................................................................................................................. Art Under Construction – Motion graphics meets contemporary dance art. Let yourself be swept away. Enjoy dance and motion graphics while walking to the library or the coffee shop. Have a watch-dance-break and get back to life refreshed! The piece is constructed by frames from the world of graphic design projected on a wall. They move, reshape and disappear. It is put together by two dancers who invite you to come and watch. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 19:15 .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 13:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Dansföreställningen är baserad på två män och fokuserar på deras möte, där de försöker förstå både sig själva och varandra. Mentala och fysiska strukturer utgör hinder i det komplexa men samtidigt mycket enkla mötet, vilket är upprinnelsen till berättelsen. .................................................................................................................................................................. The dance performance is based upon two men who meet and try to understand themselves and each other. This is the focal point of the performance. Mental and physical structures are the hurdles that underlie the complex and at the same time very simple meeting which is the source of the story. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 20:45 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Body of Work är en våldsamt suggestiv och djärv upptäcktsfärd genom den globala epidemin “body dis-ease”. Med hjälp av vågad kroppslighet och ärlig skörhet gör Tempered Body en spännande och tankeväckande resa genom det egna och det kollektiva kriget mot kroppar, kroppar som allt mindre handlar om vad vi lever på utan mer om vad vi personligen åstadkommer. Body of Work tänjer på fysiska och känslomässiga gränser och förstärker integriteten i vår kroppsliga kraft. .................................................................................................................................................................. Fiercely evocative, Body of Work is a bold exploration into the global epidemic of “body dis-ease”. Through daring physicality and honest frailty, Tempered Body takes an exhilarating and thought-provoking journey through the personal and collective war on bodies; bodies that become less where we live from and more what we can personally manufacture. Body of Work pushes physical and emotional boundaries and amplifies the integrity of our corporeal force. .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 13:30 Spelplats/Venue: KulturhusTaket .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 13:00 Spelplats/Venue: Hörsalen ..................................................................................................................................................................

Poetiskt livfullt, explosivt doftande, oemotståndligt charmigt, frestande saftigt och mjukt sinnligt. De. Skapare av känslor. Färger. Svartvitt blir färgglatt. Okänsligt blir känsligt. Likgiltigt blir hjärtligt. Ett liv utan kärlek, en sann känsla av existens och uppriktighet skulle kunna vara jämförbart med vakuum. Våra relationer är våra färger. Relationer med varandra och oss själva. Det är ett uppfyllt, sensuellt och verkligt liv av färger som föreställningen visar. .................................................................................................................................................................. Poetically vibrant, explodingly odorous, irresistibly charming, temptingly juicy and mellowly sensuous. They. Creators of feelings. Colours. Black and white become colourful. Insensitive becomes sensitive. Indifferent becomes hearty. A life without love, true sense of being and sincerity could be comparable with vacuum. Our relationships are our colours. Relationships with each others and ourself. And it is a full, sensual and very real life with colours that this performance will display. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 22:00 Spelplats/Venue: KulturhusTaket .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 21:45 Spelplats/Venue: KulturhusTaket .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 17:15 Spelplats/Venue: Hörsalen ..................................................................................................................................................................

Jaramouche – improvised music and dance

Ljuset glimrar i fönstren, vinden tjuter, en katt korsar en ödslig gata, det är midnatt och fullmåne. Vem är hon? Är hon varelsen som väntar på natten, eller bara ett nedtyngt sinne som inte kan sova? Solot utgår från mina egna erfarenheter av sömnlöshet ... Det ledde till att jag utforskade sömngång ... månskenets påverkan ... Omedvetna handlingar, brist på vitalitet och självdestruktivitet ... Det skapade en berättelse om en flicka med brustet hjärta ... .................................................................................................................................................................. Light flashes in a window, wind roars, cat crossing lonely street, it is deep night and full moon. Who is she? Is she a creature that waits for the night or just a poor mind that can’t fall asleep? This solo started from my own experience of sleeplessness, fatigue ... It ended up as an research of sleepwalking ... moonlight effect ... Unconscious actions, lack of vitality and self destruction ... Created a story of a brokenhearted girl ... .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 17:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Comic drama / Latvian

Ett rum är inrett med ett tomt bord och flimret från en tv visar utdrag från olika italienska tv-program. En kvinna observerar och absorberar bilderna. Sakta börjar hon imitera den typ av kvinnlighet som tv-programmen visar. Därefter avslöjar hon sitt utseende inför publiken. Femmehomme utforskar frågor som berör kvinnlighet, dess mening och värde samt utifrån ett sociologiskt perspektiv. ..................................................................................................................................................................

I I’m Yours bjuder den amerikanska koreografen Macklin Kowal på en djup fysisk meditation över död, sorg, och kroppens förmåga att uppfatta rymdens krafter, synliga och osynliga. Genom obarmhärtiga och rigorösa rörelser korsar dansarna ett landskap med makabra vyer. De är bortom utmattning och de erbjuder vackra, hoppfulla bilder av kroppar i sorg, kroppar i vånda och kroppar i förvandling. ..................................................................................................................................................................

Jaramouche är improvisation inom musik och dans om kommunikationen mellan två individer och språket i deras odisciplin. Jaramouche är en övning i att släppa önskningar och förväntningar, i att bryta sig loss från uppenbara verkligheter. I dessa ögonblick av frihet uppstår ordlös kommunikation, alltid ny, alltid olika, alltid influerad av människors och objekts närvaro. ..................................................................................................................................................................

A room is dominated by an empty table and the flickering of a tv, screening excerpts of various Italian programs. A woman observes and absorbs these images. Slowly she starts to imitate the kind of femininity displayed on the screen. She now reveals her look to the viewer. Femmehomme is a research that comes out of several questions regarding femininity, approached both as its absolute meaning and value, as well as under a sociological perspective. .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 12:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 12:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

In I’m Yours, American choreographer Macklin Kowal offers a deeply physical meditation on death, grief, and the body’s ability to perceive forces – visible and invisible – in space. The dancers traverse a landscape of macabre images through relentless, rigorous movement. Working well beyond the point of exhaustion, they offer beautifully hopeful images of the body in grief, the body in agony, the body in transformation. .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 15:30 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Jaramouche is improvisation in music and dance, the communication between two people in the language of their indiscipline. An exercise in letting go of desires and expectations, in the breaking of apparent realities. In these moments of freedom conversations occur without words, always new, always different, always influenced by people and objects present. .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 17:45 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Native Red är en unison duett byggd på ikoniska bilder av Amerikas urbefolkning. Statiska stereotyper sätts i rörelse av rytmiska strukturer och lyrism i romantisk musik. Schuberts ensamma herde möter de tysta urinvånarna i den nya världen. Native Red skapades som en del av studier vid P.A.R.T.S. ..................................................................................................................................................................

Vi lever i en värld där trycket på att passa in ständigt ökar. Behovet att accepteras är extremt viktigt i vårt materiella samhälle, där de flesta människor analyserar varje liten detalj i sina liv bara för att få känslan av att bli accepterade och få eventuell beundran från vänner samt vänners vänner. Som unga dansare vill vi uttrycka denna negativa utveckling genom scenkonst, eftersom vi tycker att detta är något som är viktigt att belysa, ställa frågor om och diskutera öppet. .................................................................................................................................................................. We live in a world where the pressure of fitting in is constantly increasing, where being accepted in our material society is extremly important and where most people analyse every little detail of their lives only to receive the feeling of acceptance and possible admiration from friends and even friends of friends.

OBSTACLES är en drömlik saga som undersöker, genom psykologiskt och fysiskt sökande, hur en man hanterar sina begränsningar, försöker bli av med dem och stundvis misslyckas. Föreställningen visar oss början av en resa till friheten som involverar först förnekandet, sedan acceptansen av våra begränsningar och kampen för att lära oss något mer om oss själva. Är publiken redo att möta Obstacles? .................................................................................................................................................................. OBSTACLES is a dreamy tale that investigates, throughout a psychological and physical quest, how a man deals with his own limits, tries to get rid of them, and sometime fails. The performance shows us the beginning of a journey of freedom that involves, first the refusal, then the acceptance of our obstacles and the struggle to learn something more of ourselves.

Dance in the Dark, en dans som har förlorat sitt ljus, är ett försök att återvända till den orientaliska dansens rena form, genom att eliminera kroppsformen i avsikt att framhäva de förlorade klassiska höftrörelserna. Den österländska dansen kommer att framföras till en blandning av klassisk musik, t.ex. av Johann Strauss, i ett försök att återföra magdansens klassiska kvalitet via europeisk klassisk musik. Föreställningen efterliknar den energi som närvarar vid dans i ensamhet, som om ingen annan kropp dansade, tittade på eller sjöng. .................................................................................................................................................................. A dance that lost its light, Dance in the Dark is an attempt to retreat to the pure form of Oriental dancing, eliminating the body form with the intention of highlighting the lost classical movement caused by the hips. Nostalgically the Eastern dance will take place to a mix of western classical music tunes such as Johann Strauss. Attempting to bring back the classical quality of Belly Dancing nights via currently European classical music.

I den här föreställningen kan du se dansarnas rörelser omvandlas till svängningar i ett fiskstim, pendelrörelser, laserstrålar och parametrar i en fraktal kurva. Reaktiva Projektioner 1.0 är en föreställning där teknik, konst och dans möter varandra. En koreograf och en programmerare har samarbetat under drygt ett år och skapat en föreställning tillsammans där dansarnas kroppar styr datorprogrammerade projektioner, och till viss del även musiken. ..................................................................................................................................................................

De har återvänt hem. De har känt varandra länge. De har befunnit sig i sina egna världar, i varsin kokong. De har sina vanor som isolerar dem. Jodå! Det känns säkert. Men deras vardagliga tillvaro har blivit alltför bedövande. För att öppna sig för varandra, utforskar de noggrant varandras världar. Och ger vardagliga ting en ny vinkling. På så sätt hamnar de, mot bättre vetande, i ett absurt “någon annanstans”. Där är alla sorters spel tillåtna. Givetvis! De är spelare och inte vilka spelare som helst. Att spela ensam är ingen konst. Det skulle vara vansinne. Men nu är de två, och du är också där ... .................................................................................................................................................................. They are back home. They have known each other for a long time. They have been in their own world, each in their own cocoon. They have their habits with which they isolate themselves. Oh yes! That feels pretty safe. But their everyday lives have become too deafening. To extract themselves, to open up to, they carefully examine each other’s worlds, and give everyday things a twist. Thus they arrive, against better knowledge, in a totally absurd “somewhere else”. There, every type of game is permitted. Of course! They are players and not just any kind. Playing by yourself, there is nothing special about that. That would be madness. But now they are two, and you are there as well. .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 14:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

The Condition of Not Being Dead är dans, visuell konst och ljud i samverkan. De elektriska impulserna från artisternas hjärtslag omvandlas till ljud och ljus, och belyser dansarens kostym. I totalt mörker undersöker vi hur digital teknologi kan beteckna förkroppsligat liv, och hur vår uppfattningsförmåga kan påverkas att uppfatta flera nivåer av närvaro samtidigt. .................................................................................................................................................................. ‘The Condition of Not Being Dead’ is a dance, visual art and sound collaboration using the electrical signal of a performer’s heartbeat amplified into sound and light to illuminate the surface of a dancer’s costume.

Multi-disciplinary dance collaboration / United Kingdom

Inspirerad av fabriksarbetares vittnesmål och hyllad som ett “samtida biomekaniskt mästerverk”, tränger sig denna föreställning in i arbetarens/konstnärens uppspelta, minutiösa rörelser, genom en ström av videoprojektioner, ljud, rytmer och röster som utvecklas till musik och manisk sång. Resultatet blir en känslosam och poetisk utforskning av det alienerade tillstånd och det förtryck kroppen utsätts för när den reduceras till en maskin. .................................................................................................................................................................. Inspired by the witnesses of factory workers and reviewed as a masterpiece of “contemporary biomechanics”, the performance is a continuous dialogue between video projections, live sounds, rhythms and voices that sometimes become music and obsessive songs, breaking into the performer’s precise and extreme physical actions. The result is an emotional and poetic exploration of the condition of alienation and oppression of a human body reduced to an artificial machine. .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 20:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 12:30 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Burlesque, contemporary / Barbados, Trinidad, USA

En dansföreställning av och med Rebekka Aldén och Julia Benon som välkomnar publiken till en suggestiv och oupptäckt Alice-i-Underlandet-värld där allt liv sammansmälts och där allt kan ske. Där människan och insekten lever sida vid sida, suddas gränser och auktoriteten bort. Människa + Insekt har starka viljor och djuriska beteenden. En (o)betydande roll för varandra. Vi är många, vi sammanbinds till ett myller av liv. Det blir OHYRA. ..................................................................................................................................................................

Genom en färgstark blandning av dans, dockteater och visuell teater berättar föreställningen traFika den bizarra historien om ett par som enbart kan komunicera med hjälp av trafikskyltar. En kväll medan de som vanligt sitter vid sitt köksbord tar symbolerna över konversationen fullständigt. Gamla minnen och dispyter väcks till liv i en dramatisk och rytmisk färd mellan då och nu. Kollitionen är oundviklig. ..................................................................................................................................................................

A dance performance by Rebekka Aldén and Juliet Benon welcomes you to a suggestive and undiscovered Alice-inWonderland world where all life is fused and where everything can happen.

Through a colorful mix of dance, puppetry and visual theatre the performance traFika tells the strange story of a couple who only can communicate through traffic signs.

Old memories and quarrels are brought to life in a dramatic rythmical ride between past and present. The collision is inevitable. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 17:00 Spelplats/Venue: Fri Scen Stockholms Stadsteater .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 21:30 Spelplats/Venue: Hörsalen ..................................................................................................................................................................

Distributable sculpture installation / Sweden

Åse Frid

‘A tale of Backtracking and Looping’ utforskar kvinnors förkroppsligade identitet, kroppsförnimmelse och minnen som de har, eller upplevelser i skärningspunkten mellan individens förflutna, identitet och kulturella normer. Katarzyna Perlaks fotografier granskar hur kvinnor väljer att handla, posera och gestikulera i främmande omgivningar. Att dölja ansiktet suddar ut de gemensamma dragen av subjektivitet, samtidigt som kroppen hamnar i fokus. ..................................................................................................................................................................

“action:” är fragment, bilder som sedan blev filmer. Filmer som för mig varit terapeutiska men även ett sätt att acceptera livet såsom livet är. Jag har spelat in i princip allt på min Iphone, även musiken är inspelad på samma vis, av vänner (framförallt Sebastian Pommer). Jag har alltid varit desperat beslutsam att spela in allt jag kan, för att minnas. En del tagningar är äldre, flera år. En promenad med en pojkvän, min mammas begravning. Sedan delar från livet efter. ..................................................................................................................................................................

Var befinner sig/existerar dikten under en läsning av ett bildoch textbaserat konstverk? Hur påverkar kroppen konstverkets tillblivelse vid läsningar? I Berzeliussviten försöker Åse Frid undersöka nervositeten som ett material, och hur detta formar det poetiska erfarandet. Projektet är delvis påverkat av hennes deltidsjobb som arkivarie vid Vetenskapsakademien, där hon tagit vara på utgallrade exemplar av en bok om kemisten Berzelius, och använt dem till sina teckningar och dikter. ..................................................................................................................................................................

‘A tale of Backtracking and Looping’ explores women’s embodied identity, bodily sense and memories that they have, or experience through the living intersection of personal history, identity, and wider cultural norms. Katarzyna Perlak’s photographs look into how women choose to handle, pose and gesture their bodies within the anonymous settings. Covering the face blurs the common features of subjectivity while bringing the body itself into focus. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 17:00 - 22:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23–25/08/12: 12:00 - 22:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

“action:” is small pieces or fragments from my life. In many ways a therapeutic way to accept life as life is. I recorded everything, the music as well, on my Iphone. Some takes are older and shows, in some way or another, how I desperately, always tries to get everything on film. To remember. Or maybe to let go. Pieces from a walk with a boyfriend, years ago, pieces from the funeral of my mother. Pieces from the life after. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 17:00 - 22:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23–25/08/12: 12:00 - 22:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Where is the poem located, or where does it exist, at a reading of an image- and text-based artwork? How does the body influence the artwork at readings? In the Berzelius suite, Åse Frid tries to explore nervousness as a material, and how this forms the poetical experience. The project is influenced by her part-timejob as an archivist at the Royal Swedish Academy of sciences, where documents from the archives penetrates her mind in various ways and by chance. This also led to her using of old paper-material from left-over books about Swedish chemist J.J Berzelius. .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 14:45 .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 13:45 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Isac Julian Broman

I konstverket kommer unga indonesier och unga svenskar att mötas i ett rum bestående av en installationsfilm. I filmen får de svenska ungdomarna se hur de indonesiska ungdomarna tänker om sina mål i livet. Efteråt får de svenska ungdomarna möjligheten att göra en film, och på så sätt utbyter ungdomarna tankar om drömmar och mål. En gemenskap växer fram mellan dem. Ordet framväxt konnoterar ny förståelse inför de kreativa idéer som växer fram mellan ungdomarna. Nu behöver framtiden bli sedd ur en annan synvinkel. ..................................................................................................................................................................

Michele Preds konstverk innehåller dolda meddelanden och kräver en mycket medveten interaktion. Verket avser att framkalla en djupare reflektion över vårt dagliga engagemang i den urbana konsumtionsmiljö som omger oss. Utan att tänka formar vi våra liv kring varor och normer. Tanken med hennes projekt är att bjuda in till en ny medvetenhet som kan avkoda våra liv. Michele är en amerikansk-svensk konceptuell konstnär som arbetar med upphittade/beslagtagna föremål och teknologi, genomsyrade av kulturell och politisk mening. ..................................................................................................................................................................

This production is an installation which consists of a screening video and a video in progress inside a dark room. The camera for the video in progress will shoot anyone (Swedish youth especially) who will say something about their goals in life. What ideals do they have? What are they pursuing? What steps will they take in order to achieve their goals? On the opposite wall, there is a screen that shows a video of young Indonesians who convey the ideals and wishes for their adult lives. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 17:00 - 22:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23–25/08/12: 12:00 - 22:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Michele Pred’s artwork includes a hidden message and asks for a very conscious interaction. The piece intends to spark a deeper reflection on our daily engagement with the urban and consumer environments that surround us. We have constructed our lives around products and codes without thought. Her project is meant to invite a new consciousness and awareness to the encoding of our lives. Michele is an American-Swedish conceptual artist working with found/confiscated objects and technology imbued with cultural and political meaning. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 17:00 - 22:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23–25/08/12: 12:00 - 22:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Velvet Stroke and Glow is a large piece of velvet stretched across the wall, gently revealing a surface below of iridescent acetate, which creates a natural ambient glow without any artificial light. A subtle yet potent and sensual intervention as I stroked a geometric line gently down the middle of the velvet, pushing the velvet against the grain and creating an organic mark similar to moss growing, without actually applying any material to the surface. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 17:00 - 22:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23–25/08/12: 12:00 - 22:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Velvet Stroke och Glow är ett stort stycke sammet som sträcker ut sig utefter väggen, och försiktigt avslöjar en yta av skimrande acetat som skapar ett naturligt sken utan inslag av artificiellt ljus. Det är subtilt men likväl kraftfullt och sensuellt ingrepp, när jag smeker sammeten med handen, drar i sammeten mot fiberriktningen, och skapar ett organiskt märke likt mossa utan att ha använt mig av något annat material. ..................................................................................................................................................................

“Oh! Identity” är ett videokonstverk skapat av Libera Mazzoleni (konstnär) och Daria Baiocchi (kompositör). Som orden från en grekisk tragedi eller filosofilitteratur, har frågan kring identitet ledsagat tankeprocessen och banat väg för möjligheter till nya uttryck närhelst traditionens beständighet och dess kodning har varit frånvarande vid den kreativa förvandlingen av kultur. I videokonstverket reser sig konstnären, med intensiv uttrycksfullhet, över ägandeskap och genus, och ifrågasätter den aprioriska styrkan, ibland dramatiskt och ibland ironiskt, med tron att endast tankens kraft kan vara försvaret mot barbari. .................................................................................................................................................................. “Oh! Identity” is a videoart made by a collaboration between Libera Mazzoleni (artist) and Daria Baiocchi (music composer) By the words of Greek tragedy to philosophy, the issue of identity has accompanied the process of thought being able to open new possibilities of expression whenever the fixity of tradition and its codification has not been imposed on the creative transformation of culture. In this video, the artist, with expressive intensity arises over the ownership and “gender” with questioning the strength of a-priori sometimes dramatic and sometimes ironic, in the belief that only the power of thought to ask, could be the only defense against barbarism. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 17:00 - 22:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23–25/08/12: 12:00 - 22:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Som mor och dotter, eller som ett kollektiv, organiserar Angora parollprojekt kring stickade verk med inrikting mot samtidskonst. De flesta verken är gjorda av återvunnet material. Projektets mål är att framhäva, med hjälp av färger och mjukhet, kvinnors kunskap om sömnadsarbete genom ett propagerande för återvinningens nödvändighet. Ta en paus och njut. .................................................................................................................................................................. As a mother daughter duo or as a collective, Angora organizes rallying projects around the knitting works, practiced under the angle of contemporary art. Most of these works are made from recycled materials. The project aims to emphasize, by the means of colours and softness, the savoir-faire of women in the tradition of needles work throughout a proposition that takes on the actual necessities of recycling. Take a break and make yourself comfortable. .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 12.00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 14:30 .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 15:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Vad är en privatsfär? Genom att klä offentliga väggar med papper föreställande privata familjefotografier försöker konstnären väcka frågor kring var gränsen mellan det offentliga och det privata går. Vad händer när man tar något privat och gör det offentligt och hur påverkar det vårt sätt att se på de människor som föreställs i fotografierna? Kathrin Aleite har en examen från Yrkeshögskolan Novia där hon studerade fotografi. Idag arbetar hon i huvudsak med fotokollage. .................................................................................................................................................................. What is privacy? By dressing public walls with paper depicting private family photographs, the artist attempts to raise questions as to where the line between the public and the private goes. What happens when you take something private and make it public and how does it change the way we perceive the people seen in the photographs? Kathrin Aleite is a graduate from the Novia University of Applied Sciences where she studied photography. Today she is mainly working with photo collage. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 16:30 Spelplats/Venue: Ekoteket .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 15:00 Spelplats/Venue: KulturhusTaket ..................................................................................................................................................................

En viktig del av reproduktion handlar om idén att upprepa ett objekt för att komma ihåg det/hålla det vid liv. “Repeat to remember (2012)” undersöker repetitionens syfte genom porträttering av objektens rörelse. På så sätt ges stillbilden liv. Genom att göra detta skapar Jwan Yosef ett förevigande av något, vad som helst, och genom detta reproducerar han det, precis som livet. ..................................................................................................................................................................

Konstnären Kaitlin Brewer presenterar den internationella debuten av “Shattered”. Den skulpturala ritningen, skapad av mycket enkla material, bildar en illusion av sönderslagna fönster, men vid närmare granskning hänger det trasiga samtidigt ihop. Som en Performance är denna sanningen inte omedelbart framträdande, utan utvecklar sig med tiden i en serie av uppenbarelser. ..................................................................................................................................................................

An essential part of reproduction is about repeating an object in order to remember it/keep it alive. “Repeat to remember (2012)” explores the value of repetition by doing series of an occurrence of the same object and in that way giving the still image life. By doing this Jwan Yosef creates an act of immortalizing something (anything) and by that reproducing it, like life. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 17:00 - 22:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23–25/08/12: 12:00 - 22:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Artist Kaitlin Brewer presents “Shattered” in its international debut. Made with deceptively simple materials, this sculptural drawing creates a powerful illusion of shattered windows, yet upon closer inspection, simultaneously appears to hold together what it is breaking. Like a performance, this truth is not immediately clear when encountered, but unfolds over time in a progression of entertaining revelations. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 17:00 - 22:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23–25/08/12: 12:00 - 22:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Stich & Bitch är fem kvinnliga operasångare från olika delar av Sverige samt USA. Verket med samma namn arbetades fram tillsammans med Carina Reich och Bogdan Szyber under att antal svettiga veckor och framfördes till stort jubel på Folkoperans Operafestival i mars i år. Ambitionen är att ge svar på några av livets viktigaste frågor: Hur förena polyuretan och Puccini? Finns det plats i livspusslet att både återvinna och övervinna? Hur avgörs om konst är fin eller ful? Upplev hur de fem plastiga brudarna i Stich & Bitch gör slarvsylta av begreppet skräpkultur! ..................................................................................................................................................................

Konstnärens tolkning av den fysiska dödens olika nivåer och frågan om det finns ett själsligt liv efter döden är manifesterat i “Transit”. Det visuella är främst baserat på animerade foto grafier av ljusreflektioner. Musikkompositionen, baserad på upprepning av två musikaliska motiv, påminner om mantran. Huvuddelen domineras av ljus, frid och harmoni. Däremot består introduktionen, mitten och slutet av långsamt uppbyggda konglomerat av ljud, oharmoniska, oroliga och monotoma. Ljuden är skapade med hjälp av en gitarr, iPhone, laptop och andra analoga verktyg. ..................................................................................................................................................................

Stich & Bitch is five female opera singers from around Sweden and the United States. The production with the same name was created together with Carina Reich and Bogdan Szyber during a few sweaty weeks and was first shown in March this year at the Operafestival at Folkoperan in Stockholm. The ambition is to answer a few of life’s most important questions: How to unify polyurethane and Puccini? Can you fit both recycling and reclaiming into your life? How is it determined which art is good or bad? Experience how the five plastic babes of Stich & Bitch turns the concept of trash culture into mincemeat! .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 18:50 ..................................................................................................................................................................

The artist’s interpretation of the diverse levels of physical death and the question of spiritual life after death is manifested in “Transit“. The visuals are most of the times based on animated photographs of light reflections. Unreal rooms are created and open up room for the viewers’ interpretation, depending on her or his status of experience and knowledge. The musical composition is based on a repetetive layering of two musical motives, reminding of mantras. The main part is dominated by the resplendence, peace and the harmonic moment of the piece. Introduction, center and conclusion on the other side are consisting of slowly built up sound conglomerates – disharmonic, restless and monotone. The sounds are created by guitar, iPhone, laptop and analog effect devices. .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 17:15 ..................................................................................................................................................................

ALLOTMENT är tänkt som meditation över temat “död och återuppståndelse”, presenterad i en serie enkla handlingar och bilder som, med en hänvisning till naturliga fenomen och flora och fauna i en lummig trädgård, fokuserar på artistens kropp som uttrycksfullt medium.

I Think Not har fått sin distinkta form från ett solo skapat av koreografen Deborah Hay i samband med Commissioning Performance Project, Findhorn, Skottland. I Stockholm kommer solot att framföras i anslutning till Innanens interaktiva installation Tree of Happiness. Trädet av Lycka (Tree of Happiness) växer när besökarna svarar på tre enkla frågor om Lycka, och det blir en symbol för de lokala rörelser som arbetar för en bättre tillvaro. .................................................................................................................................................................. I Think Not features a distinctive adaptation of a solo choreo graphed by Deborah Hay during the 2011 Solo Commissioning Performance Project held in Findhorn, Scotland. In Stockholm this solo dance work will be juxtaposed with Innanen’s interactive installation Tree of Happiness. The tree of Happiness grows from the participation of everyone by answering three simple questions about Happiness. These answers on sheets of paper accumulate and grow into the leaves of the Tree, becoming a symbol of local communities active involvement towards a better life. .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 20:15 .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 20:45 .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 20:45 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Jag bjuder in dig till ett enskilt möte tillsammans med mig i en mörk korridor där ljud utifrån bryter igenom, en röst från mörkret och en flimrande ficklampa avslöjar flackande bilder av inbillade händelser. I (åter)upplevelsen av eviga möten kommer vi att mötas här, som främlingar, för första gången. .................................................................................................................................................................. I invite you to join me for a one-to-one encounter in a dark corridor fractured by outside sounds, a voice from the darkness and flickering torchlight that reveal faltering images of imagined scenarios.

Liph

Liph är en audiovisuell performance av Siegfried Kärcher. Han föddes i Tyskland 1974 och var aktiv i den för technomusikens framväxt så viktiga “demoscenen” i Frankfurt. Med bakgrund i att ha programmerat Commodore C64 och Amiga-datorer är han en riktig technoälskare med förkärlek för band som Kraftwerk och Skinny Puppy. Efter att ha studerat konst verkar han numera som musiker och bild-, skulptur- och mediakonstnär. Han älskar att frambringa inspirerande verk. ..................................................................................................................................................................

MAD/FANCY upplever kärlek som den absoluta galenskapen, ögonblicket av njutning: explosivt njutningsfullt och samtidigt smärtfyllt. Kroppar är amorfa systrar, älskare och två halvor av en helhet. Genom att ramla och tumla runt i olika sorters manier – att bli förälskad, att bli galen, att bli utstött – hämtar styckena inspiration från klassiska mordballader. Dubbletter av kroppar interagerar, blir förstörda, och extraherar essensen av en saga – fångenskap, kärlek, våld och magi. ..................................................................................................................................................................

Johannes Bergmark is a sound and performance artist, skeptic and surrealist, improvising music using amplified found objects, invented and unusual instruments like the musical saw, Moog, acoustic feedback in teapots etc. He also makes sound sculptures, sound poetry and electroacoustic pieces as well as produces critical writing on many subjects. Prefers the experimental, living, inventive, curious, rebellious, poetic and trashy to high-brow officially established “quality”. .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 17:30 Spelplats/Venue: Ekoteket .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 13:00 Spelplats/Venue: KulturhusTaket .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 16:00 Spelplats/Venue: Sergels torg ..................................................................................................................................................................

“Liph” is a audio/visual performance by Siegfried Kärcher. Born in 1974 in Germany he was involved in the so called demoscene and the birth of techno music in Frankfurt/Germany as we know it today. He emerged from machines like Commodore C64/Amiga as a coder/cracker and a true techno music lover fancying the tunes of Kraftwerk and Skinny Puppy. He studied the visual arts after passing a test for the highly gifted. Nowadays he lives an artist life as painter, sculptor, media artist and musician and loves to give birth to inspiring artworks. .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 16:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 19:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

MAD/FANCY experiences love as the ultimate madness, the moment of jouissance; at once explosively pleasurable and painful. Bodies are amorphously sisters, lovers, and halves of the same. Tumbling through different manic fallings – the falling in love, the falling into madness, the falling out – the piece takes inspiration from traditional murder ballads. Body doubles are interacted with and destroyed, extracting the essence of a fairy tale – captivity, love, violence, and magic. .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 12:00 Spelplats/Venue: KulturhusTaket .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 20:30 Spelplats/Venue: Sergels torg .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 21:15 Spelplats/Venue: Sergels torg .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 13:00 Spelplats/Venue: KulturhusTaket .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 18:00 Spelplats/Venue: Sergels torg ..................................................................................................................................................................

Videokonstnären Marek Pluciennik och ljudkonstnären James Andean har utvecklat ett unikt audiovisuellt performance, där film, ljudkonst och performance glider in i varandra, utan några synliga skarvar. Pluciennik betonar de taktila kvaliteterna hos film som materiellt medium, och han behandlar och transformerar filmen i samma stund som den blir projicerad. Andean skapar levande ljudlandskap som kommunicerar med projektionerna. Ofta är det föremål i rummet, publik eller filmprojektionen som är Andeans primära ljudkällor. .................................................................................................................................................................. Film artist Marek Pluciennik and sound artist James Andean have developed a unique audiovisual performance practice, seamlessly blending film, sound art, and performance art. Pluciennik emphasizes the tactile qualities of film as a material medium, by treating and transforming the film during the act of projection. Andean creates live soundscapes to dialogue with the projected visuals, often using the sound artefacts of venue, space, audience, or the film projection as primary sound materials. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/1: 20:15 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 21:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 21:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Vi kan se Dennis Verbeke gå runt på scenen, omgiven av sin enorma samling G1 My Little Ponies, och noggrant välja ut en leksakshäst. Han tar upp henne, studerar henne noggrant, och börjar långsamt kamma hennes hår. Förnöjt undersöker han hennes hållning, form och ibland även hennes doft. Han agerar försiktigt. Sedan placerar han tillbaka henne på sin plats och börjar leta efter en ny häst i sin enorma samling. Föreställningen visar betraktaren motsägelser och väcker frågor om genus, samhälle och beteende. Den visar ett 60 minuter långt intimt, voyeuristiskt samspel mellan en vuxen man och hans samling. .................................................................................................................................................................. Enclosed by his enormous collection of G1 My Little Ponies we see Dennis Verbeke on his round stage carefully selecting a toy horse. He picks her up, takes in all her features and slowly starts combing her hair. With delight in his eyes he investigates her detailed pose, symbol and sometimes even her scent. It is a delicate act. He carefully places her back to her spot and starts searching over his vast collection for another item. The performance provides the viewer with contradictions and raises questions about gender, society, our behavior and offers a 60 minute intimate voyeuristic exchange about an adult male and his collection. .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 18:30 .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 13:30 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Draken är en fiktiv, syntetisk form som inte har någon motsvarighet i naturen, men den finns i mytologin skapad av SUKA OFF. Att ömsa hud liknar det som sker i naturen, fast här faller huden av och blottlägger köttet. Samtidigt kan bilden av en levande flådd påminna betraktaren om historiska personer, som Marsyas eller Saint Bartholomeo. Föreställningens början visar ett slutfört projekt/ skulptur/bild: en man som är täckt av en syntetisk substans. Bilden blir transformerad och deformerad, och till slut träder Draken fram ... ..................................................................................................................................................................

“Re:****Sitruuna ja meduusa” is an audiovisual installation by visual artist Merja Nieminen and sound artist James Andean, which constructs a ‘live’ dynamic system, comprised of projected 3D graphics and projected sound, creating a virtual environment or ecosystem which changes and evolves in real-time. It explores the capacity of the spectator to create relationships – to build worlds – from multiple sensory information. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 20:30 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 11:30 ..................................................................................................................................................................

The “dragon” is a fictional, synthetic form that doesn’t have any equivalent in nature, but is a part of the mythology created by SUKA OFF. The process of skin shedding is analogous to the one that takes place in nature, but in this case it’s the skin that sheds the burden of the flesh. On the other hand the image of flaying alive can also remind the viewers of mythical and historical characters like Marsyas or Saint Bartholomeo. The beginning of the performance shows a finished object/sculpture/image: a man covered in a synthetic substance. The image gets transformed and deformed and as the end result we receive the “dragon” ... .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 19:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 19:15 ..................................................................................................................................................................

En irländsk man lämnar sin exil i London för att resa till Stockholm. Han tar med sig en tre meter lång skyffel och drar efter sig en resväska av stål.

THE MASK handskas med besvärande frågor gällande vaksamhet, kontroll och förlusten av personlig integritet. Projektet väcker frågor kring personlighet, persona, identitet, parallella liv, och psykets djup. Publiken får realistiska masker med en ansiktshalva som representerar konstnärens ansikte, och de blir inbjudna till en improvisatorisk föreställning som filmas. Maskerna frigör de begränsningar som normalt reglerar publikens beteende. Deltagarna går in, men endast en kort stund, i en annan värld som är separerad från vardagen. .................................................................................................................................................................. THE MASK deals with the troublesome issues of vigilance, control and lost of privacy. The project raises questions about personality, persona, identity, parallel lives, and multilayering in the psyche.

Stadens abstrakta lycka. Stadens rum har genomslagskraft på konstnären och talar till honom genom människorna, atmosfären, omgivningarna, känslorna. I denna specifika form av kreativt uttryck finns en kombination av två platser, staden (målerier) och det artistiska omedvetna (diabilder). Musiken hjälper människor att ta in kreativitetens atmosfär. Publiken kan förändra föreställningen genom att komma med förslag (skissa idéer). .................................................................................................................................................................. Abstract happiness of the city. City space has an impact on the artist, is talking to him through the people, the atmosphere, the surroundings, the emotions. In this peculiar form of creative expression there is a combination of two sites, the city site (paintings) and artist subconscious (slides), music should help people get into atmosphere of creation.

Gångtrafik är en dansföreställning för allmänna utrymmen. Två dansare guidar dig genom en tävling, en barnslig lek med dramatiska undertoner. Deras egna personliga och fysiska gränser utmanas i takt med att lekens tempo konstant ökar. Det blir till en energirik, unik och spännande show som undersöker hur man skapar den ultimata gatuföreställningen. .................................................................................................................................................................. Gångtrafik is a modern dance performance for public spaces. Two dancers guide you through a game, a childish play with dramatic undertones.

ReAct! är en inter-konstnärlig grupp vars mål är att nå ut till publiken direkt genom framträdanden i offentliga uttrymmen. Inpirationskällor har varit människors rörelse- och beteendemönster i staden, och barnleken “nudda inte golvet” som är känd från Astrid Lindgrens böcker om Pippi Långstrump. Med denna akt vill gruppen synliggöra de osynliga normer som reglerar och kontrollerar oss i det offentliga rummet, samt individens kamp och längtan efter rättigheten att få existera och uppleva samhörighet men samtidigt känna sig unik. .................................................................................................................................................................. ReAct! is a inter-artistic group that aims to reach the public directly by performing in public spaces. Our action takes place in city surroundings. As an inspirational source we have used people’s way of moving and behaving in cities and the children’s game “Don’t touch the floor” known from the Pippi Longstocking books by Astrid Lindgren. With this piece we want to acknowledge the invisible rules of social behaviour that control us in public spaces and the individual’s struggle and longing for the right to exist, belonging and feeling unique. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 19:30 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 12:30/18:30 .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 12:00/13:30 .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 12:00/14:30 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Berättelsen om våra liv inkluderar många platser. Varje plats har sina egna kvaliteter, lukter och ljud, sitt speciella ljus, sin färg, sin egen känsla och egna associationer. Bryggan är en plats där resan börjar – att ligga i solen, eller till och med hoppa i vattnet! En dans av kvinnor. Kvinnor från olika platser. De träffas på bryggans plankor. Kroppar i beröring under solen, som känner vinden eller regnet. Som lyssnar till vattnets ljud. Var redo för att en intim och sensuell dansupplevelse! .................................................................................................................................................................. The story of our lives includes many places. Each place has its own qualities, its own smells and sounds, its particular light and color, its own feel and associations. “Brygga” in English means landing stage. This is a place to start a trip, to lie in the sun or even to jump into the water! A dance by women. Women from different places. They meet on a wooden landing stage. Bodies in contact under the sun, feeling the wind or the rain. Listening to the sound of water. Be ready to experience dancing as an intimate and sensual experience! .................................................................................................................................................................. 23–24/08/12: Info: www.stockholmfringe.com ..................................................................................................................................................................

Föreställningen kretsar kring att skissa en visuell resa av stadsbilden. Föreställningens syfte är att spåra stadslandskapet och byggnaderna genom att rita kroppsdelar på fasader, broar och trappor: öron, ögon, näsor, hår, ansikten, händer, ben, hjärtan, huvuden eller ett porträtt av publiken. Föreställningen interagerar med platser och publiken, då jag ber att få rita deras porträtt. .................................................................................................................................................................. The performance centers on drawing a visual journey of the cityscape. The objective of the performance is to trace the city landscape and buildings by chalk as I walk along the edges of buildings, bridges, stairways to leave images of body parts; ears, eyes, nose, hair, face, hands, legs, heart, head or a portrait of audience faces along places of historical and cultural memory. The performance is very much interactive with site-specific places and interaction with audience where I request to draw their portrait. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22–25/08/12: Info: www.stockholmfringe.com ..................................................................................................................................................................

Karolin Kent

Mattress Circus är tre cirkusartisters resa och de ramlar, bråkar och skrattar samtidigt som de försöker nå nya höjder. Föreställningen utspelar sig bakom och runt en madrass. Vi använder oss av fysiska olikheter för att skapa en komedi och overkliga, surrealistiska bilder. Händelser i föreställningen får de tre karaktärerna att vända sig från varandra med akrobatik och clowneri fram till deras slutgiltiga enande i en häpnadsväckande bild. ..................................................................................................................................................................

Den kallas världens längsta konstgalleri. Rusningstid: var 5:e–6:e minut, varannan minut i centrala delar. Maxhastighet: 80 km/h. Övervakat av vaktbolag. Överträdelse beivras. T-bana Antigone är berättelsen om lagarna som reglerar det offentliga rummet. En föreställning som är baserad på Sofokles text och består av bestämda rutter genom Stockholms tunnelbannestationer och tågvagnar. ..................................................................................................................................................................

Mattress Circus is the journey of three clown acrobats falling, fighting and laughing, all the while reaching for new heights. The show is set behind and around a mattress. We use our physical differences to create comedy and surreal images of illusion. The events of the show move the three characters against each other using acrobatics and clown until their final unity in the stunning image of a three man high. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 17:30 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 19:30 .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 17:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 12:30 / 17:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Called “the longest art gallery in the world”. Peak hours: every 5–6 min, 2–3 min in central parts. Max speed: 80 kph. Guarded by private security firms. Strict actions against offenders.

“Vit Gestalt” inspireras av researcharbete kring frågan om kvinnoförtryck i olika samhällen. Detta stycke behandlar kvinnans sociala restriktioner samtidigt som det lyfter fram henne som en stolt och stark varelse som kämpar för erkännande. Kent utnyttjar medier som performance och live-art för att diskutera denna fråga. “Vit Gestalt” ger en stark visuell och uttrycksfull bild genom att blanda subtila och groteska uttryck i en strukturerad rörelse- och röstimprovisation. .................................................................................................................................................................. “Vit gestalt” is inspired by the research around the issue of female oppression within societies. This piece discusses her social restrictions whilst portraying her as a proud and strong creature, fighting for recognition. Kent utilizes the mediums of performance and live-art in order to discuss this matter. “Vit gestalt” delivers a strong visual and expressive image by blending subtle and grotesque expression, through a structured improvisation of movement and voice. .................................................................................................................................................................. 22/08/12: 17:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 15:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 24/08/12: 17:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 19:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

“Det är alltid smakfullt att göra sig av med planeringar och vanor. Att injicera nya färger i vardagen. Att låta vår inre värld störas av nya dofter. Tiden kan stanna. Utrymmet för det oväntade är här.” The Walkers framför en subtil blandning av balansakrobatik och dans. De går genom och omkring publiken. Plötsligt fångar de magin som flyger i luften och gör om den till rörelse och akrobatik. De möts, gör cirkus och lämnar. Luftens färg har precis förändrats ... .................................................................................................................................................................. “It’s always tasty to let our plans and habits go. To inject new colours in our daily life. To let our inner world be disturbed by new fragrances. Time can stop.

Jesus Kristus återvänder till jorden, men Han får inte resa in till USA eftersom Han är en skäggig man från Mellanöstern, redo att dö som martyr. I sin första enmansföreställning på över två millenier talar Jesus om sin tid i Guantanamo, relationen till sin Far, och sin juridiska strid med Monty Pythons Life of Brian. Utsåld 3 år i rad på Edinburgh Fringe, turnerat från USA till Pakistan (under katastroftillstånd). Bojkottad på Irland av Ian Pailseys Democratic Unionist Party. “Långt ifrån ytlig religiös satir ... Uppslukande, invecklad, utmanande och ... mycket underhållande.” – Malcolm Hay, TimeOut (London) .................................................................................................................................................................. Jesus Christ returns to earth, but He doesn’t get through U.S. immigration because He’s a bearded, Middle-Eastern guy, prepared to die as a martyr. In His first one-man show for almost two millennia, Jesus talks about His time in Guantanamo, His relationship with His Father, and His legal battle with Monty Python’s Life of Brian. Sold out 3 years running at the Edinburgh Fringe, toured from the USA to Pakistan (during a state of emergency). Boycotted in Northern Ireland by Ian Paisley’s Democratic Unionist Party. “Way beyond superficial religious satire ... Absorbing, intricately woven, challenging and ... highly entertaining.” – Malcolm Hay, TimeOut (London) ..................................................................................................................................................................................... 24/08/12: 18:00 Spelplats/Venue: KulturhusTaket .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 16:15 Spelplats/Venue: Fri Scen Stockholms Stadsteater ..................................................................................................................................................................

LIFEshow är inte en dramatisk iscensättning i dess traditionella form utan försköker här använda sig av teknologi för att kunna kliva utanför teaterns ramar och därmed skapa ett interaktivt kontstnärligt format. Denna uppbyggnad är baserad på direktarbete med publiken eller slumputvalda stadsbor. LIFEshow är ett utforskande i “mediaverklighet” och hur det kan manipulera dig. .................................................................................................................................................................. LIFEshow is not a staging in the traditional sense, but tries to use current technologies to step out of theatre form towards the interactive format, the character of which is based on direct collaboration with the audience or randomly selected residents of a city. LIFEshow is a research of media reality and ways how to manipulate you! ..................................................................................................................................................................................... 22/08/12: 17:00 .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 13:00 ..................................................................................................................................................................

Comedy / Ireland

En rituell föreställning inspirerad av myter om fertilitet och lemlästning. I sitt solo använder sig Paul Henry av dansformen Butoh, musik och text sammanfört i ett live-experiment. Målet är att fastställa kroppens begränsningar, för att sedan utvidga dem genom bilder, poesi, teknologi, drömlogik och berövande av känslor. Love for the Dead Bag har haft premiär i Skottland och Italien, och denna nya version har tagits fram speciellt för Stoff 2012. .................................................................................................................................................................. A ritual performance inspired by fertility and dismemberment myths around the world. In this solo Paul Henry uses Butoh dance, music and text in a live experiment. The goal is to determine the limits of the body, and then expand them through imagery, poetry, technology, dream logic and sense deprivation. Love for the Dead Bag has premiered in Scotland and Italy, and this new version has been developed especially for Stoff 2012. .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 17:30 Spelplats/Venue: Hörsalen .................................................................................................................................................................. 25/08/12: 20:00 Spelplats/Venue: Fri Scen Stockholms Stadsteater ..................................................................................................................................................................

Elisabet Vogler är en framgångsrik skådespelerska som mitt under en föreställning slutar prata och blir apatisk. Syster Alma anställs som hennes vårdare och kvinnorna flyttar till ett hus vid havet. Elisabet och Alma trivs bra tillsammans och skapar en egen värld som stänger omgivningen ute. I den isolerade miljön suddas gränserna mellan deras två personer ut och frågan om vem som är sjuk och vem som är frisk ställs på sin spets. Genom att utforska den nära relationen mellan kvinnorna belyser före ställningen teman som identitet och gemenskap. .................................................................................................................................................................. Persona tells the story of actress Elisabet Vogler and nurse Alma. In the middle of a stage performance, Elisabet suddenly becomes apathetic and refuses to speak. Alma is hired as her nurse and together the two move to a quiet environment near the sea. The two women are comfortable with one another and together they create their own world, while keeping a safe distance to reality. Because of the risk of betrayal, the atmosphere becomes increasingly menacing. The performance plays with ideas of how women should behave, and tries to identify an even more problematic view of female identity. .................................................................................................................................................................. 23/08/12: 13:30 ..................................................................................................................................................................

“Flickor sitter aldrig ner på offentliga toaletter eftersom de är rädda för bakterier. Istället kissar de ner hela toalettringen, så att andra inte heller vågar sätta sig ned.” De båda artisterna utforskar kvinnlighet och transvestism, och försöker besvara och förstå: Hur skulle ett samhälle med kvinnlig dominans se ut? I denna studie använder de sina egna kroppar som verktyg för att slita isär det samtida genuset, bre ut det och limma ihop det igen. ..................................................................................................................................................................

“Girls never sit on public toilet seats because of the germs. Instead they pea over the whole seat, so that others don’t dare to sit down either.” Through cross dressing and female exploration both performers plan to answer and understand what a more female dominant society would be like?

StoffNet online

När vi satte segel för första gången 2010 hade vi en mycket klar vision gällande vårt uppdrag: att ge konstnärer en plattform för att arbeta, utveckla och framträda. Fast vi visste inte hur vårt initiativ skulle tas emot förrän det trillade in hundratals ansökningar från konstnärer som alla ville ta del av det allra första Stoff. När drygt tusen artister kontaktade oss året därpå förstod vi att Stoff presenterade ett forum som tidigare hade saknats. Konstnärer behöver kulturella noder där de kan mötas och framträda inför publik, byta idéer och kunskap med varandra och så nya frön för framtida samarbeten. Tidigare var det många som inte skulle ha övervägt möjligheten att besöka de nordiska länderna. Det var för många barriärer och de ekonomiska kostnaderna för höga för att det skulle löna sig. Men Stoff har blivit en anhalt för många konstnärer som vill göra sina internationella turnéer mer hållbara.

För att göra StoffNet så tillgängligt som möjligt kommer databasen att finnas på vår hemsida och fungera likt ett bibliotek för konstnärer. Vi kommer att lägga upp information om lediga tjänster, praktikplatser, samarbeten, festivaler, utbildningar och nyheter från världens alla hörn. Du kommer också kunna ladda ned performance från festivalen, komma i kontakt med konstnärer och lägga upp annonser om dig eller din föreställning. Lokala konstnärer kommer att kunna ta kontakt med våra globala systerfestivaler och använda Stoff och StoffNet som en språngbräda för internationella turnéer. Glöm inte att besöka vår heta livesändning direkt från Stoff 2012!

When we first set sail in 2010, we had a very clear idea of our mission: if we give artists a platform to work, develop, meet and perform, then magic would happen. We weren’t, however, prepared for how well-received this initiative would be until we received hundreds of applications to join our premiere year. When nearly a thousand artists contacted us in our second year, we felt that Stoff was indeed a forum much in need. Artists sought a new cultural home where they could meet, perform to new audiences, exchange ideas and knowledge, planting seeds for future collaborations. Many artists had previously not considered a visit to the Nordic regions – the barriers they had been faced with were too many and too costly to make it worth the trip. Stoff became a stop off point for many who wanted to make their international tours more sustainable.

To make StoffNet as accessible as possible it will have its base on our webpage, where you will be able to use it like an artistic library. We will offer you information about jobs, internships, collaborations, festivals, education, news etc. from all over the planet. You will also be able to download festival performances, get in touch with artists, post notices about you or your show, Local artist will be able to connect to our global sister festivals and use Stoff & StoffNet as a launching pad for their international tours. Don’t forget to tune in to our Live Stream during Stoff 2012 – the hottest live show in august!

Inför vårt tredje år ville vi göra mer. Vi visste att vi kunde erbjuda konstnärer och publik bättre förutsättningar. Vi upplevde att ett välstrukturerat program kunde föra samman människor som har ett intresse för Stoff och ge dem möjligheten att träffas och samtala. Med vårt nya tillskott StoffNet kan vi erbjuda de förutsättningarna. Lanseringen av StoffNet äger rum under Stockholm Fringe Fest 2012 och presenterar möten, samtal, workshops och debatter med framträdande kulturprofiler från hela världen. Vi är djupt tacksamma inför det stöd vi fått av våra samarbetspartners som delar vår önskan om en nod för ett kraftfullt och kreativt nätverk för alla som vill ha en värld av nervkittlande konst.

StoffNet Global För att förverkliga vårt mål, att sätta ”Stoffholm” på den globala kartan över fringefestivaler, har vårt team rest över hela Europa och upprättat förbindelser med internationella samarbetspartners. Vi kan stolt meddela att vi nu har nära samarbeten med The World Fringe Congress, NOMAD, The Other Space Foundation, Transkaukazja, Brighton Fringe, Prague Fringe och Sopot Fringe. Under 2013 kommer vi att resa österut till Georgien för att upprätta “Fringe – the democratic stage” tillsammans med samarbetspartners som Svenska Institutet, The Other Space Foundation och Transkaukazja. Titta på StoffNet online för mer information om detta initiativ!

StoffNet Monthly Stoff – varje månad! För att kunna erbjuda kontinuerligt stöd har vi inlett ett samarbete med fantastiska Fryshusandan i Stockholm. Under hösten 2012 fortsätter Stoff att synas med StoffNet Monthly som arrangerar evenemang runt omkring i Stockholm hela året ut. Dessa evenemang är specifikt utformade för dig som vill delta i kreativa workshops, möten och händelser. Registrera dig och bli medlem redan idag!

Bli delaktig! Har du en intressant idé som du tycker passar StoffNet? Har du en idé som du vill presentera på StoffNet Monthly? Kanske vill du veta mer om vårt projekt och arbeta som volontär i östra Europa? Vi vill mer än gärna höra från dig, så tveka inte att höra av dig till oss! Se vår hemsida för information: www.stockholmfringe.com

In our third year, we wanted to do more. If the artists showed passion for what we do and the audience kept being curious, we knew we could serve them better by offering greater opportunities. By organising a well-structured network program, we felt we could merge the different people that are interested in Stoff and give them the possibility to meet, learn and talk under our newest addition – StoffNet. StoffNet will launch during the 2012 festival featuring meetings, talks, workshops and debates with a range of thrilling industry profiles from many parts of the world. We are totally humbled by the support we have received from collaborators who we feel share our wish in creating a powerful creative network for anyone who is interested in the spine-tingling world of the arts.

StoffNet Global In our quest to put “Stoffholm” on the global festival map, our team has been travelling across Europe to meet and liaise with several international partners during the year. We are proud to announce that we are now working closely with The World Fringe Congress, NOMAD, The Other Space foundation, Transkaukazja, Brighton Fringe, Prague fringe and Sopot Fringe festivals. In 2013, we are travelling east to create “Fringe – the democratic stage” in Georgia, together with a range of exciting collaborators such as Swedish Institute, The Other Space Foundation and Transkaukazja. Visit StoffNet online for more information about this initiative.

StoffNet Monthly Stoff – every month! To enable us to become an organization that offers continuous support, we have teamed up with the fabulous Fryshussandan in Stockholm. During autumn 2012, Stoff will no longer be shy during the pre-festival months as we will launch our Stoff Monthly events at various locations in Stockholm throughout the year. These events will be specifically designed to reach out to anyone who wants to participate in creative workshops, meetings and happenings! Sign up and become a member today!

Get involved! Do you have an interesting idea that you would like to involve in StoffNet? Do you have ideas on what you like us to offer at our monthly events? Perhaps you feel you want to know more about our projects in Eastern Europe and even volunteer? Whatever ideas you have, get in touch with us now as we would love to hear from you!

Den 20–22 april hade Fylkingen glädjen att lansera PALS, en helt ny festival för performance i Stockholm! Kärnan hos performance finns i nuets närvaro, i det unika mötet mellan konstnären och hennes publik. Under tre dagar presenterade vi verk av internationellt erkända konstnärer inom performance – som finns här och nu. Japan, Kanada, Tyskland, Polen, Rumänien, Spanien, Italien, Irland, Vitryssland, Finland, Norge och Sverige var representerade. Tanken att sammanlänka är festivalens centrala koncept, därav festivalens namn: PALS – Performance Art Links. ............................................................................................................................................ The 20th to 22nd of April this year Fylkingen had the great pleasure of launching PALS, a brand new festival for Performance Art in Stockholm! The core of performance art is to be found in its presence in the now, in the unique encounter between the artist and her audience. During three days we showed works by internationally renowned performance artists live – here and now. Japan, Canada, Germany, Poland, Romania, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Belarus, Finland, Norway and Sweden were represented. The idea of linking is a central concept of the festival and is therefore stated in the very title: PALS – Performance Art Links. ..................................................................................................................................................................

En konversation om “Hur man kan skapa och under vilka förutsättningar”. Reich and Szyber visar delar av sitt arbete och engagerar publiken i en dialog om rötterna till kreativitet. Konversationen kretsar runt existerande arbetsstrukturer och redan accepterade (och ofta osynliga) regler för hur och för vem ens konst är skapad och presenterad; det faktum att ett visst verk kommunicerar till sin publik lika mycket genom sin form som sitt innehåll; sist men inte minst, genom vilket sammanhang det framförs. Möjligheter för publiken att genom ett lekfullt sätt öva R/Smetodens tes. .................................................................................................................................................................. A conversation about “How to create and on what grounds”. Reich and Szyber show parts of their work and engage the audience in a dialogue on the roots of creating. The conversation revolves around existing working structures and already accepted (often invisible) rules on how and to whom one’s art is created and conveyed; the fact that a given work communicates to the audience as much through its form as its content; and last but not least, in what context the work is performed. Possibilities for the audience to in a playful way practise the thesis of the R/S method. ..................................................................................................................................................................

Varför är fringefestivaler så starka konstnärliga plattformar? Vad får publiken ut av dem? Vilken betydelse har de för landet och kontinenten, och vilken roll kommer de att anta i Skandinavien? ..................................................................................................................................................................

Vilken betydelse har performance i samhället? Vilket ansvar har performanceartiser gentemot sin publik? Vilket ansvar har publiken gentemot artistens verk? Vi diskuterar förhållandet mellan performance och dess plats i vardagen, när människor kommer öga till öga med en konstart, är vittnen till konst, utan att ha tagit beslutet själv, och vilka utmaningar som eventuellt kan uppstå. ..................................................................................................................................................................

What purpose does performance serve in the community? What level of responsibility does the performer have towards the spectator? What level of responsibility does the spectator have towards a performance?

Biografi Carina Reich och Bogdan Szyber har arbetat ihop med olika hybridformer inom scen- och bildkonst sedan 1983. De har ett förflutet inom performance och site-specific konst, har skapat tåspetsbaletter för Kungliga Operan ihop med deathmetalgruppen Entombed, film med Jonas Åkerlund och radioteater med Stina Nordenstam. Dagliga Stadsritualer med tusentals deltagare över hela Sverige och engelska barn inlagda i gelé (enligt London’s Time Out “The best site-specific production of 1996”), installationer med såväl spottande skyltdockor på NK som ljudverk på sightseeingbåtar på Themsen – deras signum är en oförtröttlig tro på blandformen, det udda, det personliga och att aldrig ta det konstnärliga resultatet för givet. Varje projekt är unikt, en egen värld, en egen sfär. ..................................................................................................................................................................

Daily City-Rituals with thousands of participants all over Sweden, as well as British children served in jelly (according to London’s Time Out ”The best site-specific production of 1996”), installations with spitting mannequins in the display windows of department stores, audio-pieces at sightseeingboats on the River Thames – their headmark is the unremitting faith in the hybrid form, the odd and peculiar, the deeply personal and to never take the artistic result for granted. Every project is unique, a world of its own.

Gideonsson/Londré

Biografi Ett konstnärligt samarbete mellan Stockholmsbaserade Lisa Gideonsson (f. 1986) and Gustaf Londré (f. 1985). Allt startar vid gränsen: skapandet av subjektet, två individer som uppstår och deras gemensamma samarbete. Detta är strukturen i ”det tredje” som utforskas i GIDEONSSON/LONDRÉs arbete som sammansmältningen av deras subjektivitet, den resulterande produkten av deras samarbete och platsen där de temporärt kopplar ihop sig själva. Deras arbete är både privata utforskningar publikt agerande och “det tredje” som blir en temporär plats för dessa skapelser. .................................................................................................................................................................. Biography An artist collaboration between Lisa Gideonsson (b. 1986) and Gustaf Londré (b. 1985) based in Stockholm, Sweden. It all starts at the border: the creation of the subject, the emerging of two individuals and their joint collaboration. This is the structure of ”the third”, which is explored in GIDEONSSON/ LONDRÉs practice as the merging of their subjectivities, the resulting product of their collaboration, and the site to which they temporarily connect themselves. Their works are both private investigations, public actions and “the third” becomes a temporary site for these creations.

Den första fringefestivalen ägde rum i Edinburgh 1947 i samband med en internationell teaterfestival som syftade till att skapa förbrödring i Europa. En del av teatergrupperna som ville vara med fick inte plats så de skapade i stället en egen scen i festivalens utkant. Ordet “fringe” är engelska för just utkant. I dag omsätter Edinburgh Fringe Festival över en miljard kronor. Som en årlig mötesplats för scenkonstnärer och kulturutbyte har den fått 176 uppföljare runtom i världen. Fringefestivaler ger oetablerade artister en plattform för att utveckla sitt konstnärliga arbete och visa upp sina verk för en bred publik. Artisten får en scen och publiken en upplevelse.

The Fringe story dates back to Scotland in 1947, when eight theatre groups turned up uninvited to perform at the (then newly formed) Edinburgh International Festival, an initiative created to celebrate and enrich European cultural life in the wake of the Second World War. Not being part of the official programme of the International festival didn’t stop these performers – they just went ahead and staged their shows anyway, around the ‘fringe’ of the main event. Today the Edinburgh Festival Fringe contributes £142 million to the City’s economy each year and there are now 176 other fringe festivals throughout the world’ They provide an annual meeting place for cultural exchanges and give un-established artists a platform to develop their work and showcase their talent to a broad audience.
