The singer strikes their audience with the force or intimacy of their voice. A percussionist strikes their instrument to sound, creating music out of the inanimate with the force or intimacy of their touch. 

This night is a long song of pleasure and pain. We begin with a listening experience, attuning to the performer’s touch, voice and rhythm. Then later we open ourselves to play, all of us instruments of pleasure and pain, as the night becomes a sex positive and kinky play space.

The live music continues into the play night with a DJ set. Led by renowned performers Juergen Groezinger (percussion and DJ) and Jess Aszodi (voice) - join us for and a deep dive into playing with feeling.

Jess Aszodi --> web site

Jess Aszodi is a literal shape-shifter. An artist, researcher, educator and performer, her mezzo voice has been praised for its “utmost security and power” (Chicago Tribune). Its unusual range, both in terms of colour and pitch - make it possible to perform repertoire across genres and voice types, where she creates bespoke techniques and concepts from project to project. She has built up a truly idiosyncratic set of embodied knowledges, from cycling while singing, to choreographically affected song, and a not small number of extremely extended vocal techniques. Her favourite thing is challenge.

Grözinger setzt auf die Unmittelbarkeit musikalischer Erfahrung, auf Transfers, die sich aus dem programmatischen Zusammenhang erschließen. Er spannt Bögen zwischen verschiedenen Gattungen, Zeiten, ästhetischen Ideen, Philosophien. Er ist Spezialist der extravaganten Mixturen. Grözinger will junges Publikum mit einbeziehen und die Steifheit und Distanziertheit des Konzertbetriebs überwinden.
