Still (2025)

The term Still (German for silence) becomes a resonant space for experiences of speechlessness, silence, silencing and inner withdrawal. The artists meet through dance, music, text and spoken word – as well as in the exchange of their biographical, aesthetic, social and artistic perspectives.

This collaboration understands itself as a collective artistic platform. In the face of current local and global conflicts and escalations, we ask

How can our artistic practice be a practice of solidarity? 

How do we create spaces where questions may be voiced – and where powerlessness and speechlessness can find an outlet? 

How can our artistic processes function as part of our collective processing – as a way of sharing, transforming, and generating resonance?

This presentation is not a finished piece, but a shared artistic exploration of a complex theme situated at the intersection of body, sound, language, and society.
