Venue:
- Extended Library der HFBK Hamburg
Performative film and lecture program with Isabell Spengler, Antonia Baehr, Jule Flierl and Margarita Tsomou
The program deals with musical scores in an extended sense and understands them as a method to reflect together with the audience in the Extended Library on the perception, reading and interpretation of the world.
To kick off the program, Antonia Baehr and Jule Flierl will perform the duet TonTänze live. Isabell Spengler, Antonia Baehr and Jule Flierl will then present their work Die Hörposaune - Film, which will be vocalized, commented on and further developed by the keynote speech The Body is the Glitch by Margarita Tsomou.
TonTänze (a selection) by and with Antonia Baehr and Jule Flierl
TonTanz (sound dance) is a conceptual invention by Valeska Gert. She uses the term to describe the movement of the voice in the body, thus moving away from the cliché of the mute female dancer. In this selection, Baehr and Flierl refer to the TonTanz genre, which opens up new forms of relationships between body, dance and voice.

Die Hörposaune (The auditory trombone)
Film by Isabell Spengler, Antonia Baehr and Jule Flierl, staged in a visual installation by Nadia Lauro.
Using a floating camera, the film allows us to enter a world of membranes, liquefied boundaries and openings between inner and outer spaces. Here we encounter a reading session or voice performance in memory of the queer icon, Altus Klaus Nomi, one of the first public figures to die in the wake of the AIDS pandemic. The film delves daydream-like into the bowels of fantastical queer body imaginings, with spitting, panting, mouth space sounds, singing and vulva-like paper flower arrangements, reinterpreting anatomical representations.
