"Fluxxious on Stage"
Author and performer Üüve-Lydia Toompere
Assistant Marta Vaarik
Fluxxious will be performing on stage. Journalist Johanne Björklund Larsen describes her in an interview for the pop culture magazine FRÄULEIN like this: “Fluxxious embodies subservience without seeming powerless, serving as a tangible proof of the empowerment found within submission. Instead, we find within Fluxxious a complex form of strength, characterised by a profound sensitivity and an inherent power.
Her presence may initially seem provocative, but it's about so much more than just shock value. Instead, the essence is rooted in the discovery and assertion of control—a control that is not predicated on the desire for dominance but rather on a profound understanding and appreciation for a nuanced dynamic.
She invites us to explore vulnerability and the strength that can, unexpectedly, be found within it, and to embrace a strong feminine body.”
Üüve-Lydia Toompere (b. 1990) is a Berlin based freelance performance artist. She finds particular interest in social contexts and this is her core motivation for theater works. One of her methods involves finding better ways in which to integrate society into her performances. Recently Lydia has been interested in clubs, fetish and the pole dance scene and has started to perform and model in these worlds under her alter ego Fluxxious.
"Me / Her"
Author and performer Anita Kremm
Sound designer Kristel Zimmer
Artist thanks Oliver Reimann, Giacomo Veronesi, Alice Torriani, Dongbin Lee, Javier Carcel Hidalgo-Saavedra, Ene-Liis Semper
"Me / Her" explores the relationship between two bodies, "me" and "the other". By opening up the space for individual associations and subjective choices, "Me / Her" also raises the question of the limits and possibilities of human compassion and empathy.
Anita Kremm (1998) is a young artist working with film, photo, video, and performance. She is interested in creating non-existing worlds by using elements from everyday reality. Her works and performances have been exhibited in Tallinn, Helsinki, Moscow, Weimar, Graz and Prague; her experimental short films have been selected for several festivals in Europe. She lives and works in Tallinn and is currently studying in the MA program in scenography at the Estonian Academy of Arts under Professor Ene-Liis Semper.
"sometimes in life not dancing is not an option"

Some things, some times, solidify through repetition. Some things fall apart. The first word of this staged moment in time is "Hello" and the last "finally". I have found that the difficulty of saying the first is inversely proportional to the ease of the latter. The ending was there first. The whole thing is an attempt to get there. Sometimes, in life, not dancing is not an option.
Nele Tiidelepp (b. 1998) has a bachelor in Installation and Sculpture from EKA and is currently obtaining a Master’s degree in Choreography and Performance from Justus Liebig Universität in Germany.
She operates on the verge of imagined and real spaces, people and moments, often as part of a collective or cooperative practice. From the use of random sentence fragments of other people in her texts, to collectively created performances, where each participant is seen as an equally important author.
The showcase is organized by the Estonian Theater Agency in co-operation with DRAAMA festival.
