LYDIA DAHER (Germany)
Hello, I’m Lydia Daher. Thanks for the hit. Maybe I can pay you back somehow... I’ve got some things that I thought up myself. Almost all myself. And from myself. And why not? Nobody has to perform anything here. But they can. They can nod their heads or shrug their shoulders. Or only one shoulder, back and forth, as you like. It’s a free country. And I’ve got a short temper, so you’ve got to watch out. Really it’s better not to say anything. Or even better: only say the right things. Or the best: tell the truth. And then say bye-bye, because I need my space. Lots of space. Otherwise I don’t get any ideas. That’s nice, thanks. See you soon. In Prague.

PAULINE FUEG (Germany)
Großraumdichten is the name of a project that consists of poet Pauline Füeg and Tobias Heyel and composer Ludwig Berger. The trio presents a performance made up of the spoken word and live electronica. The project began with Pauline Füeg and Tobias Heyel, who have been performing their programme for about five years on German stages at various Slam-Poetry competitions, as well as at literary festivals. Their texts deal with everyday events, dressed in a lyrical garment. Pauline and Tobias have qualified every year since 2005 for the German national Slam Poetry competition. Since 2007 their team has also included the multi-instrumentalist Ludwig Berger, who has brought the sounds of electronic music to the project, most often in trip-hop, electro-folk and ambient-minimalist genres. Sicne 2007 the trio has also worked with Radient (www.radient.de) light installations. In Prague they will perform with Ludwig Berger.

WERONIKA (Poland)
Plan.kton feat. (audio+visual+spoken word) The audio-visual project Plan.kton feat is made up of Błażej Górnicki and Kordian Piwowarski. Their original take on music and visuals is the distinct dialogue between technology and nature. Oak and electronic sounds coexist with pictures in a dynamic synthesis. The multi-expressive project also features Weronika Lewandowska, who is well-known on the local slam and spoken word scenes. Her feminine texts are full of resounding multiple meanings, whose fragility mixes with strength, created together with music and visualizations of electric forms, the “contemporary intermediary language”. She will perform with others at the Slam Jam Session at the “Roma” Theatre, in the underground BallhausOst Theatre at the Illustrative festival in Berlin. We will see her in Prague and Brno. www.myspace.com/planktonechosis
