Susanne Songi Griem with Pete Prison IV: Spaziergang bei Nacht

“That was three years ago, the picture. That summer we thought Covid might be over. That was also the summer I first wanted you. No one is as cute in a shirt and silver chain as you. Dresses are drag. You’re still here. Meanwhile, three loves are dead. And I’m a little skeptical about the job. But I don’t know a better one.”

Spaziergang bei Nacht is a duet by Susanne Songi Griem and musician* Pete Prison IV that addresses the constant alterations of internal set-ups by external circumstances. Inspired by the themes of spring and departure, both performers interpret the complexity of change, solitude, discomfort and compassion in a green landscape. Alternately, they move between individual improvisation and shared memory.

Susanne Songi Griem combines movement, sound, language, objects and gaze in her pieces, creating a carefully woven web of diverse elements that enables moments of special immediacy.
