Immersive audiovisual performances

FIBER x The Rest Is Noise kicks off the new year with immersive audiovisual performances. Rotterdam based duo Animistic Beliefs and artist Jeisson Drenth present the world premiere of Thức Tỉnh (Awaken). Aïsha Devi, together with visual artist Emmanuel Biard, presents the show Les Immortelles, based on her latest album Death is Home.

 

Animistic Beliefs + Jeisson Drenth
Animistic Beliefs' contemplative performance Thức Tỉnh touches on themes of queerness, colonialism, hope and self-expression, ultimately culminating in a rave that celebrates complexity and the genesis of new narratives. Thức Tỉnh merges ancestral narratives into modern apparitions. Drawing on traditions from Vietnamese-Chinese, Moluccan and Pre-Columbian cultures, the trio brings this heritage to life through the use of traditional instruments such as the Tifa drum and the Tayronian ceramic flute, among others. 

Aïsha Devi + Emmanuel Biard
Swiss-born Aïsha Devi is one of the most outstanding names in electronic music of the last decade. She blends a mysticism inspired by her indigenous Nepalese heritage with a sharpened club intelligence. Les Immortelles seeks to unravel the strict boundaries of life and death, suggesting experiences beyond body and spirit. It features lighting design and scenography from Emmanuel Biard.
