»What is Not / O Que Não Está« by Fronte Violeta with Marta Kiss Perrone

Commissioned by the CTM Radio Lab, »What is Not / O Que Não Está« is an installation and audio piece created by the duo Fronte Violeta together with director, actress, and playwright Martha Kiss Perrone and with the collaboration from actress and performer Kay Sara and singer Juçara Marçal. The artists investigate a cycle of various long-acting natural forces that promote structural transformation, while also pointing to contact between the human and non-human, and between inert and living matter.

A limited number of virtual visits are available to the installation. Conducted by local friends and colleagues within CTM’s extended network, the visits aim to foster personal exchange, and to offer a glimpse of several CTM events at a time when more people than ever might not be able to make it in person.

CTM is commissioning partner of »Jump Cut,« a six-part web series of streamed collaborations between multidisciplinary artists. Conceived by Dana Gingras/Animals of Distinction as a way to survive and thrive in pandemic times, the series curates unpredictable encounters between artists who are currently working in isolation. Each episode will feature a unique combination of artists to create a multi-disciplinary collaboration that will be presented online together with HAU Hebbel am Ufer. Jump Cut premiered at CTM 2021 and will reach its conclusion at our Contact 2022 edition.

Fronte Vacuo – »Humane Methods [ΣXHALE]«

Combining dance, theatre, interactive music, body art, and biotechnological installation, »[ΣXHALE]« is a living biome that takes shape as a collective, durational experiment in four episodes. The performance is part of an ever-multiplying chain of stage productions by the Berlin-based performing arts group Fronte Vacuo (Marco Donnarumma, Margherita Pevere, Andrea Familari) that reflect on the forms of human violence that have risen from the coalescence of polarised societies, algorithmic megastructures, and natural ecosystems.

The final discussion module for Part 1 of our Contact Discourse series features Jonathan Chaim Reus, who has been selected as winner of the 2022 Kontinuum call for generative sound work. Reus will modulate a singular audio channel over a period of one year with his work »In Search of Good Ancestors / Ahnen in Arbeit.« In conversation with Eleni Ikoniadou, Reus will expand on ideas behind the work, which explores intergenerational thinking and voice synthesis.

During the session, the audience is invited to send questions via YouTube chat.
