Fri 23th. Les Haferflocken Swingers

•22 h • 10 pm Les Haferflocken Swingers Sweat, chaos and voodoo cirqus!

Hot Jazz and Gypsy Music from Berlin

Sweat, chaos and voodoo cirqus! "Les Haferflocken Swingers", a international Berlin based Party Jazz troupe, hypnotize with hot'n'dirty Jazz.

Schweiss, Chaos und Voodoo-Zirkus! "Les Haferflocken Swingers" begeistern mit dem dreckigsten Hot-Jazz Berlins.

Formed back in October 2001 by Jimmy Monahan, Suk Mortalis and Flocko Motion as the "Rabbiz of Breaktanz", soon renamed as "Haferflocken Swingers", they started playing cheap Klezmer and Hot Jazz. Though in the beginning they sounded more like a screeching bunch of chainsaws out of tune, people were soon able to unplug their ears and even smile during their wicked performances.
Their journeys have driven them to many countries with their crew constantly changing, performing with weirdos and nutmegs from all over the universe.

Im Oktober 2001 von Jimmy Monohand, Suk Mortalis und Flocko Motion als "Rabbiz of Breaktanz" gegründet doch bald zu "Haferflocken Swingers" umbenannt, begannen sie billigen Klezmer und Hot-Jazz zu spielen. Am Anfang klangen sie wie ein Bündel kreischend verstimmter Kettensägen bis es irgendwann den ersten Leuten möglich war, während der Performances ihre Ohren zu entstöpseln oder sogar laut zu lächeln. Ihre Irrwege katapultierten sie durch aller Herren Länder, mit stets wechselnder Besetzung aus kaputten Halbtalenten und Pseudo-Affen performierend und perforierend.

LUST step one • Frei fri 16 02

• 22 h • 10 pm live video a guided screening by Torben Simonsen

LUST

LUST – step one, a sketch of a neverrealized video-installation.






Torben Simonsen, creator of LUST Step One will guide us through an interactive labyrinth, where the spectator in each viewing will experience something unique.

These two characters
they have this thing going on
they cannot let go of one another
he cannot let go of her
and she tells him
we cannot be lovers
we can be friends
and he says, allright then honey
lets make a movie
she says, okay babe
what should that movie be about
that movie should be about you and me
beeing lovers in the movie
oh thats a great idea she says
and so the story begins
and so they go off
out into LUST

Those are the words of the first video you encounter in LUST step one. In 2002 “he”, Torben Simonsen, goes to America to make an erotic roadmovie.


On returning to Copenhagen Torben Simonsen spends the following three years editing the recordings in his working studios situated on the outskirts of the derelict dock yards of Copenhagen. During the editing process Torben Simonsen changes his focus from the story of Herman & Sylvia to the way the story is perceived. In this
intense study of the nature of experience he experiments with different artistic genres and explores hybrids of the pictorial arts, installation and film making.

Torben Simonsen chooses the sketch as the project’s final form because he wants to focus on the ambiguous meanings of the material and because he wants to force the spectator to dwell on it’s many possibilities and uncertainties. Thus, LUST – step one, does not appear as a completed work, but as a vision of one.
