köket is a five-hour workshop for investigating and wrestling with artistic modes of production and reproduction. How can social reproduction needs inspire changes in modes of production? Andrea and Adriano will share their collaborative methodologies and open up a conversation to collectively annotate questions, imaginations, and tactics. The day is offered as a temporary cohabitation including (collaborative) writing, cooking, drawing, resting, wandering and thinking together.

The performance Domestic Anarchism: bailes & zona de juego will premiere on May 28.

bailes, a dance performance unfolding inside
zona de juego, an installation inside
domestic anarchism, a longing

bailes is an experiment in transmitting dances from body to body across contexts, and in opening up a dance performance to let a new constellation find its rhythm. The performance combines a range of expressions from wrestling and telekinesis to stand-up comedy and improvisation. The materials of Domestic Anarchism have emerged through a series of collaborations and co-habitations each addressing (nuclear, chosen or national) family problems.

zona de juego is the installation where the bailes happens and it is open before and after the performance. A place for drift and contact, zona de juego is an invitation for children and adults to encounter the material and immaterial architectures of a performance in their own pace and with all senses: large scale window paintings available as reverse coloring books, (mother) tongues to be carved in soap, erotic booklets, cooking and post-performance sharing of a soup of blurry origin.

Adriano Wilfert Jensen works through dance to study and produce conditions of relations. They approach dance as a set of tools and knowledge that can be applied beyond "the spectacle" to collectively study, write and move. Their practice tends to be organised as long term research projects which each spawn a variety of formats: dance performances, publications, workshops, installations and protocols. With Simon Asencio they founded Galerie - an immaterial gallery for immaterial artworks in 2014. That same year they initiated the research project analysis on the politics of feelings in dance and its spectatorship. And in 2021 they initiated domestic anarchism with Andrea Zavala Folache.

Adriano first visited Kanuti Gildi SAAL as a participating artist at Krõõt Juurak’s “So Far So Good” edition of the NU Performance Festival and returned for SAAL Biennaal 2017, 2019 and 2021 with the performances Group Show, feelings and mixed feelings, and as a performer in Natten by Mårten Spångberg.

Andrea Zavala Folache has a transdisciplinary approach to dance informed by her/their training in visual arts, painting and choreography. He/their practice prefigures an ongoing rewriting of relationships. The stage becomes a site of experimentation, inviting audiences into moments of transition, play, and shared perception. Alongside long-term artistic collaborations and performance experiments such as Domestic Anarchism, Lands of Concert and Performing Arts Forum, Andrea is interested in questioning pedagogy and co-creation, teaching at SNDO (School for New Dance Development) in Amsterdam and co-coordinating ISAC (Bachelor and Master in Choreography) in Brussels. Andrea visited SAAL Biennaal in 2019 and 2021, collaborating with Adriano on feelings and mixed feelings.
