Rasp Your Soul

In Rasp Your Soul, the Greek choreographer Kat Válastur uses mythology as a tool to answer contemporary questions. For this, she collaborates with the performer Enrico Ticconi and the visual artist Leon Eixenberger. We see a contemporary mythical being in an indefinable space. Are we in the present, the past, or the future? Do we see a human, an animal, or a cyborg? His movements carry traces of digital and capitalist culture and, under the impulse of the environment, are almost transformed into mantras. In Rasp Your Soul, the body, voice, and sound are interwoven in such a way that they form one magical organ, as it were. An elusive identity that makes us think about our own state of being.

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.
