Co-creation and performance of the dance by Keith Hennessy and sound improvisation by Ida Hiršenfelder
Performance: 11 June 2025
Venue: Španski borci Cultural Centre, Ljubljana (SI)
An encounter between a dancer and a sound artist who have never met in person. Trusting improvisation, juxtaposition, curiosity, and magic, we will explore and nurture the worlds where imagination defeats tyranny.

Ida Hiršenfelder (beepblip) is a sound artist and archivist. She composes psychogeographical, spatial and ambisonic pieces, sound installations, and sound walks. She is particularly interested in acoustic ecology and the placement of sound in space, through which she addresses themes such as the selves of inorganic others, translating non-human languages, and listening to the inaudible. https://beepblip.org/
