“A late-night link-up for musicians, artists, and anyone who just wants to groove. Hosted by Will Jacobs & The Unit, ‘The Hang!’ is all about returning to the essence of live musicianship and celebrating authentic, analog performances. At each show, we’re running three sets of music with The Unit, featuring special guests and vinyl DJs. The Unit is composed of four of the baddest, most versatile musicians in town. We’re talking Kind of Blue to Black Radio, James Brown to D’Angelo, Gospel to Motown to Chicago Blues – really, we’re talking all things Soul.”

Concert - ticket required
“Lisa Ullén is one of Sweden’s most influential pianists in the free jazz and improvisational scene, as well as in contemporary music. Born in Seoul, Ullén grew up in the northern part of Sweden. In 2018, the Swedish Radio awarded Ullén the prestigious Jazz Composer of the Year. She shares time between Berlin and Stockholm.
Jiyoung Wi is a musician/improviser and fiction writer floating between Rotterdam and Seoul. She will present a performance that frames improvisation as a form of ‘negative virtuosity’, emphasizing the dynamics between control (and its failure), chance, and the continual redefinition of physical limits.”
SUNDAY, 18.01.
ANNE NGUYEN / COMPAGNIE PAR TERRE WITCH HUNTING
17:00, Hebbel am Ufer - HAU 1
Dance Theater | part of PURPLE – 10. Internationales Tanzfestival für junges Publikum
“Witch Hunting” explores the human being’s desire for empire and its capacity for self-sacrifice. Six dancers share the empty stage, using their movements to reveal how they perceive and understand the world – and their own bodies. The performance poses fundamental questions: What is cultural identity? What does community mean? And what connects people within society? It also explores how people are made into targets for blame and thus unjustly denounced.”

19:00 - 20:30, Spore Initiative
Tales of Devotion, War, and Migration – Live Music Performance + Interwoven Storytelling - free admission
“The Night is an ode to BIPOC* storytelling, tracing the weight of displacement, exile, and seeking home — helping the audience embody memories, which cut geographies, while opening space for connection, healing, and collective dreaming. The Dreaming Diaspora invites wanderers and listeners to breathe, feel, remember, to dialogue, and to imagine together the possibilities that emerge when voices and hearts meet.”

“The collaboration between Herndon & Dryhurst and sub has generated spaces where artistic, architectural, and technological languages meet and reshape one another. Considering the frameworks of their practice, the discussion pays particular attention to how protocols and machine learning systems can inhabit space, perception, and collective experience, and the ways in which sound, space, and technology can be choreographed into new modes of encounter.”
