Ruinerne (“The Ruins”) is a musical inspired performance by Filip Vest and Kai Merke using live action roleplay and song to evoke new worlds in the ruins of the existing one. In the story we meet a group of creatures living in their own alternative society, where they’re trying to repair the violence written into their bodies, develop a new language and renegotiate utopias of the past.

The performance is currently under development and for the festival we will show a work-in-progress version of the project.  


To hack folklore.To distort rhythm.

To throw our prejudices about tradition into a rectangular ring — a battlefield and a space for reconciliation.

MALA is a punk gaze on Argentine folklore, a dark journey of sounds, words, and dance; of distorted traditions, broken bodies, and reinvented animals.
A duo, a performative concert, a queer and feminist cry about how malambo — this traditional dance once reserved for men — mutates and moves us.
To be part of the transformation of our traditions, our dances, our heritage.


In the world of show business, surrounded by effortlessly beautiful bodies, perfect opinions, and endless career optimism, it isn’t easy being a rockstar demon in disguise hustling for the next gig.

This piece celebrates the Beautiful Beast within us — the one who yaps till dawn, takes smoking breaks during pilates, sleeps in a full face of makeup, buys skrabeæg, and prefers the smell of whiskey to baby heads. She couldn’t care less what Betina and Carol think. She struts through life with her head held high — like the supermodel she truly is. The Rockstar.


The show is an analogue live set that crafts introspective and poetic atmospheres, where hypnotic rhythms, analogue synthesizers, guitar, loops, and evocative vocals intertwine to evoke a deep sense of meditation and contemplation.
