Let Sing Your Place with actress and singer Katrine Faber. An interactive intimate concert where we sing and create sound images for the places in the world that mean something to us.
A performance that takes place in a human collective space and opens up our connections in a sensual, touching and musical way to our surroundings and our resonance in the world. Let Us Sing Your Place is part of Teater Viva's interdisciplinary project Singing Our Place.
by Joel Heirås (Sweden)
The work takes its starting point from Joel Heirås’ need to deal with Parkinson's disease as performative language. By examining its communicative possibilities, a playful attitude towards serious illness is adopted. The question that is asked is how Parkinson's as a movement-based and rhythmic phenomenon can be poeticized through movement-based performing arts and music.
The title, Amor Fati, is drawn from Friedrich Nietzsche's conceptualization, and takes note of his call to affirm and embrace even life's difficulties. As co-creators of the performance, Joel invites Tim Perkis (elecronical sounds) and John Holmström (piano).
A special selection at Slakthuset
For the first time, Gothenburg Fringe will present work at Slakthuset, making the space our special hub on the opening weekend of the festival on 1-3 September.
As well as hosting our opening event and preview night there on Friday (free tickets for both events to be released 8 August), we have a fascinating programme of performances on site and here are three shows you can book tickets for right now.

Headspace is a dance piece about psychosis/schizophrenia. At the crossroads between reality and psychosis, the dancers and the audience meet, where the imagination seeks grounded ground. With the belt over our stomachs, we leave the room and try to find reality. HeadSpace wishes to give the audience an experience that, at best, provides insight, understanding, empathy and new perspectives on the mysteries of the brain.
Rembody (Sweden)
Come together in community during this concert with REMBODY.
REMBODY is a solo act by artist and musician Silas Lilo Jensen (they/them). They collect and re-sculpt sounds found in places such as the gender identity clinic and the psychiatric ward. Instruments such as guitar, synthesizers, trumpets and harmonica are set in playful arrangements and dressed in drag. With their gender nonconforming singing voice REMBODY shares stories of queer and trans life and struggles.
In hope of evoking dreams of resistance and community - a warm welcome <3
by AEMIA (Sweden)
AEMIA presents "Soundscape Chronicles", an immersive journey into the realms of ambient, instrumental, and neoclassical music. AEMIA's performance aims to evoke a deep emotional connection through carefully crafted soundscapes and visual projections. By combining different loop techniques with tape recordings, string arrangements, electric guitars, voices, and ambient sounds, AEMIA strives to construct a delicate sonic tapestry within an atmospheric environment.
This unique 45-minute presentation, specially crafted for the festival, will see AEMIA collaborating with visual artists Ana Estrabou and Nicolás Rodríguez in an effort to enrich the immersive experience, seeking to create a harmonious synergy between sound and visuals. Join us for an evening of ambient instrumental music featuring analogue loops and visual projections.
