In 2018, choreographers Andros Zins-Browne and Stina Nyberg along with theatermaker Diederik Peeters teamed up to make "SPECTROPHILIA" at the festival Almost Summer at BUDA in Kortrijk Belgium, an evening which delved into the links between the three artists’ common interests in the supernatural,the esoteric, the uncanny, and the haunted. The result was a spooky night of puppets telling (erotic) ghost stories, a concert made to raise the dead, and a dance haunted by the Swedish Black Metal artist Dead.
Now, the three will join forces again to make a mini-festival in Stockholm, bringing a medium who will converse with whoever might be haunting MDT, a lecture by a bat, and several talking heads- all delving deeper into their investigations of voices without bodies, bodies without voices, and the sex appeal of ghosts. The evening will be accompanied by musical concerts by the theremin player Grégoire Blanc, a lecture in the dark by the specialist in the concept of the uncanny Anneleen Masschelein and the Tesla coil performance Alternating Currents by electric musician Maria w Horn and Stina Nyberg, as well as several other collaborators who are no longer with us but nevertheless have lots to say.
Stina Nyberg
Stina Nyberg (b. 1981, Örnsköldsvik, Sweden) engages in the choreography of dances, conversations, meetings, texts, sounds, and shows. She regularly falls in love with new stuff and uses choreography as a means to learn more about these new objects of desire. Some of her recent love affairs have involved doom, details, dogs, electricity, gossip, men, dance history, birds, and mind-reading. She is busy crafting physical practices in relation to the world at large, currently dwelling on the simultaneous molding of, and being molded by, other humans, surroundings, and prevailing ideologies.
Andros Zins-Browne
Andros Zins-Browne is a choreographer who’s work consists of live and hybrid environments at the intersection between installation, performance and conceptual dance. His performances work on twisting the embodied and the virtual, until these distinct terms begin to lose their borders. How bodies produce images and vice-versa is a question central to Zins-Browne’s investigations.
Diederik Peeters
Diederik Peeters is an officially certified visual artist that accidentally got lost in the stables of stage-art, and usually makes performances, but has also been caught writing texts, inventing installations or video’s and crafting other amalgams that appear hard to categorise. Because Peeters is a proud patient of a pathological preference for confusion, in his work impossible contradictions and absurd consistencies are stubbornly piled up.
