Charly Nijensohn - DAS LEBEN FINDET SEINEN WEG
“Regeneration Strategies” is a transcontinental network of research stations and multidisciplinary projects developing regenerative interventions in regions where ecosystem biodiversity has been affected by human interference. Proposed by Charly Nijensohn, it invites scientists, bio-builders, artists, and local communities to develop biotopes using natural elements characteristic of their geography, featuring adobe sculptures designed to provide shelter for regional and migratory animals.
For the Dystopia Biennale, the presentation features a 5-channel video installation documenting biological evolution and research at the Pampas del Zonda research station in the Andes mountain range, accompanied by a live performance with Johannes Haase (Violin & Electronics) and Charly Nijensohn.

Marcela Lucatelli - NECROMANCY
Danish Music Award-winning vocal trio Necromancy brings together a radical meeting between composers and musicians Lars Bech Pilgaard, Utku Tavil, and Marcela Lucatelli. Using drums, guitar, effects, and extreme vocals, they create a tunnel between Western and Afro-Brazilian perspectives on death, taking listeners on a groovy rollercoaster of noise, gothic and horror. The music draws on Afro-Brazilian spiritual traditions, with each movement honouring a different orixá through their distinct sonic worlds. Lucatelli’s powerful vocal range moves from hoarse spells and invented incantations to ecstatic outbursts, woven into immersive soundscapes. Polyrhythmic santeria singing meets noise rock and free jazz, with a subtle hooligan attitude.

HAUNT | Berliner Medizinhistorisches Museum der Charité | Flutgraben e.V. | Deep See @CafeBabette | Floating e.V.

The DYSTOPIA Sound Art Biennale, organized by the artist-driven initiative Errant Sound e.V., has invited over 120 artists since its first edition in 2018 to explore the immanence of dystopian and utopian imaginaries in sound art and listening practices.

Inspired by the concept of spiral time, the performance program features artistic ventures navigating the friction between body, performance, memory, and the production of knowledge.
