late night Summer Solstice Berlin COMPASS cabaret hosted by LOKI hosted by SANDRA SARALA** with DANIELA GAST** GUIGNOL** HANS KELLETT** VOLCANICK** WASP SUMMER** along with Mystery Guests
the penultimate edition of the Berlin series celebrates the sun in the North
and all the plenty of the rituals of eastern-central European summer... scaring away the spring, water, fire, flower wreaths and fake weddings, kissing games, singing, drinking, laughter, happiness and love...

with stunning music from:
alt-country queen WASP SUMMER &
punk-blues-chansons maestro GUIGNOL (Pier Adduce, solo, on special import from Milan)

video installation performance art
from:
DANIELA GAST

the delightful HANS KELLETT, singer of the band Princessin Hans, will be massaging stories out of his old suitcase gramophone

VOLCANICK is going to shake, shimmy and gyrate

while your host SANDRA SARALA, possessed by the trickster LOKI, shapeshifts his-her-its way through the shortest night, when the veils between space and time flex and change and mutating forms of Slavic and Germanic song and word break free

***The first act of communal Bread Breaking can and will happen any time from 23:00***

PERFORMER INFO

 
Daniela Gast In my works as a video/installation artist I search for and reinstall emotions to bridge the technical and conceptional aspects of the same. It’s like spinning outwards from the centre which the mind creates and the body permeates.
Daniela Gast Als Video/Installation und Performance Künstlerin suche und erneuere ich Emotionen die den technischen und konzeptionellen Prozess meiner Arbeit überbrücken. Es ist wie das Drehen nach Aussen - ausgehend von einem Zentrum das der Verstand kreiert und den Körper durchdringt.

Guignol sounds out a territory ranging wild between intense ballads and furious punk-blues, a magical hybrid of singer-songwriter traditions, folk, punk, blues and twisted pop that sorties into cinematic, theatrical sonic sound. Rhythmic-noise physicality and impetuosity touching multiple destinations of the mind.
