The performance “Strom” unfolds a multi-layered interplay of body, sound and technology, in which narrative, musical and choreographic elements merge to create an immersive experience. At its heart lies an exploration of the interplay between human presence and electronically generated structures, giving rise to an atmospherically dense, yet poetic and experimental approach to perception and interaction.

In the collaboratively developed performance setting Strom, Iris Blauensteiner and Rojin Sharafi research a dynamic interplay of human and technical actors. Based on the narration of an evolving literary text, voice is combined, connected and recoded with electronic music, textures and programmed sound components. In a choreography of text, movement, stillness and minimal gestures, the performers interact via sound. Interdisciplinary interlaced, reciprocal technical-human-physical-abstract-narrative processes emerge. A force field spans between the abstract sound and its embodiment. Viewers are invited to be part of the uncanny utopian atmosphere of the live performance Strom in the physical exhibition space.

The performance will take place as part of the exhibition "Wake Words" by and with The Golden Pixel Cooperative.
