Julius Pristauz’s work examines the tension between private and public spheres, focusing on identity, performativity, and representation across media. For the first time concentrated on directing, their new performance, developed for eye below ear, features four performers reenacting individual scenes, where seemingly contrasting scores shift, merge, and occasionally collide. The scenes blend pop culture references with the artist’s own choreography.

Céline Gillain is an artist based in Brussels working across the fields of experimental music, electronic music, and visual and performing arts. She has performed extensively in Europe during the last ten years. Her work explores the meeting points between dance floor, politics, the industry, and storytelling, deconstructing the codes and hierarchies that govern them. Seeking escape routes and operating in the loopholes, Céline feels at home in the inbetweens.
