Spectrophilia

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.
