with bela, Dreamgirls, Espectra Negra, Jana Woodstock, Tanat Teeradakorn, NúÚ P3A☭3, Vieze Meisje
Co-curated by transmediale x CTM festival, the Berghain Säule night features a series of live sets between ritualistic noise, post-punk, digital deconstructions, and gabber, each with a unique performative edge that conjures portals to distinct worlds and fictions.
The South Korean musician bela takes strong conceptual narratives to their works, as heard most recently through Guidelines, a release investigating Nongak, a traditional form of Korean folk music. The duo Vieze Meisje bring pop, performance, humour, and rave in one dazzling act. Donning pink hazmat suits, a noisy, industrial, femme waste removal service is performed by Dreamgirls (Clíona Ní Laoi and Michelle Doyle). Verónica Mota appears as her Espectra Negra moniker, unfurling experimental, industrial, and ritualistic sonics. Jana Woodstock links the night’s sounds through wide-ranging interventions, pulling from her love of the many textures of music’s noisier and beat-propelled techno spectrum.
