Composer

The celebrated Ethiopian-Swedish soprano, performer and composer moves between contemporary composition, noise, free jazz and experimental vocal art. Her voice ranges five octaves, from guttural growls to crystalline overtones, from microtonal glissandi to percussive sonic explosions. An instrument of resistance and exploration – wild, precise, unpredictable.

Cantadoras I: Sofia Jernberg

House of World Cultures

Survivors of the sea, refugees, exiles come together on an island. They create a new society from scratch without the old rules of origin or power. Is it possible to have a community built on love? The hosts for this evening are two intergalactic collaborators: Sun Ra, pioneer of Afrofuturism in response to omnipresent racism, and Karlheinz Stockhausen, who sought to flee the constriction of the art world. Both are fascinated by interplanetary vibrations, read the same spiritual book about love in the 1970s and set the cosmos free.

A poetic and dynamic performance where three dancers with backgrounds in Western contemporary dance, West African modern dance, and Indian contemporary Bharata Natyam dance explore how boundaries transform into passages when different movement languages camouflage themselves in one another.
