In a collaborative process, Karin Pauer is developing a performance for the immersive installation "testing grounds" by visual artist Katrin Hornek.

With choreographic devotion to the entanglement of body and sound, the artists of the "Rakete" festival deconstruct our experiences of time with quiet ecstasy and bold tenderness.

Part ghostly repository of unconsumed sensuality, an installative kinetic fadeout, part somatic (strip)tease, "This resting, patience" addresses attraction, voluntary objectification, proximity and the aesthetics of bareness.

The Saturday Hangouts take place every other day of performances as part of the Rakete festival: a programme devised by various guests to pass the time, to listen and perhaps take notes in lectures, readings, workshops, listening sessions and artist talks.

In preparation for Matthew T. Huber’s lecture, an adO/Aptive Reading Group will take place in the TQW library.

Matthew T. Huber’s lecture will give an overview of the argument in his book "Climate Change as Class War: Building Socialism on a Warming Planet". The basic argument asserts the climate crisis is at its core a class struggle over who owns and controls the means of energy production.

"NEUM" is the still unborn prodigy by the duo MИNA und OMI, for the first time in this constellation, with a physical despair to deliver their songs in a faceless servitude.

Intimate lovelorn lyrics and preoccupations for the "The End" build up an emo-séance, a spell and a requiem for the astral and physical self through its cycles of life and death. "SADIS-ROSE" crafts atmospheres of precariousness, spiritual surrender, communion and delicate sensibilities towards messianic vulnerability as a site for collective redemption.

Out of her fascinations and frustrations, Luisa Fernanda Alfonso embodies and turns around the archetypes of The Character Dancer and The Mariachi – characterised for being hyper-dramatic, hyper-virtuous and hyper-gendered. "Masterpiece" explores both their excesses in the tumult of nostalgic and Latin American associations, hijacking the dance from its legitimacy, legacy and traditions.

The performer feels her way along inner unevenness and geological unrest into landscapes. They encounter sediments and begin to reshape and decompose the physical relief. This relief is (also) the body. A body read as female, which in its materiality seeks to embody nothing other than the body, embarking on a process of excavation and detachment.
