AMANDA PAYNE
Amanda Payne is a theater maker and performer. Through her work she researches musicality within speech by combining her background in singing with text theater. She is interested in how the uniqueness of voice is revealed whilst playing with words, impersonating others and exploring the performativity of the mouth. During Rewire she will perform in collaboration with Sabine Pendry.
JUHO MYLLYLÄ
Juho Myllylä is a recorder player, guitarist, singer and songwriter. He strives for open-minded musicianship across styles and versatility regardless of imposed genre classifications. He feels passionate about earlier repertoire – medieval and renaissance music, yet is especially interested in the recorders’ countless possibilities in contemporary and new music.
HILDUR ELÍSA JÓNSDÓTTIR
Hildur Elísa Jónsdóttir is interested in storytelling and creating engulfing experiences within spaces, often inspired by the mundanity of everyday life. Through a variety of media such as performance, moving image, installation and music, she critically employs normalized human behaviors and experiences by displacing them into an artistic context.
IAN SKIRVIN
As long as he can remember, Ian Skirvin has had a strong fascination for exploring hidden places. His work, often large installations or scenographies, stems from the desire to awaken something hidden in the viewer.
JOCHEMJOCHEMJOCHEM
Jochemjochemjochem is the musical alias of producer, dj and mixed media artist Jochem van der Hoek. In his music Jochem reassembles elements from ambient, hiphop, hyperpop and experimental club music to create a sound that is all his own, juxtaposing a harsh, sometimes lo-fi production style with compositions that feel warm and personal.
CURRENTLY ZOË
Currently Zoë is the alias of The Hague based visual artist, curator and writer Zoë Tim Hollander. In their dj-sets they create dense layers of music and sharp contrasts, approaching a set as a collage rather than a mixed playlist.
LIAM MCCALL
Liam McCall is a Bboy, dancer, performer and maker from Utrecht. His style is a genre-transcending blend of breaking, contemporary, hip-hop and experimental dance. He is known for his creative freedom, musicality, presence, improvisation skills and movement quality.
LOTTE VAN GELDER
Lotte van Gelder is a movement based artist. Through ad-hoc compositions, related to the moment at hand, she sculpts architectures for the senses. Most of the time she sings and dances with dust and ghosts. During Rewire she will rewrite scripts that were forgotten and bring them into sound. Repeating these stories, they become slippery, then transparent and eventually falsified.
MENU MENU
Utrecht-based producer and dj menu menu (also known as Caz Egelie) loves anything that sounds fast and squishy. With their love for high-energy bouncey tunes, menu menu creates a hyper visual sonic world in which hyperpop, techno and video game music are intertwined with jersey club, pop and R&B influences.
A Staged Slumber is commissioned by Das Leben am Haverkamp and Rewire Festival as part of a long-term collaboration between the two platforms, facilitating space for experimental crossovers between fashion, performance art and music.
