Melodies Are So Far My Best Friend
PRICE – the alter ego of Mathias Ringgenberg – is a queer hybrid character. He embodies the emotional disorientation of a generation that grew up with mass culture, neoliberalism and the ubiquity of the internet. If we continue to consume more language more quickly and superficially, will we still be able to use language instinctively and emotionally? PRICE is appealing to movement and music to answer this question. He creates an in-between space in an improvised encounter with music producer Cecile Believe and pianist Sebastien Hirsig.

Part of EXTRACT #2
Extract #2 is a platform for seven artists who have been working in STUK’s studios in recent years. What these artists have in common is their interest in challenging the established standards. The mini festival is concluded with the symposium Transforming Relations which offers a theoretical framework and zooms in on how choreography can redefine calibrated gender relations.
