Menion / Italy
Liveset

Menion is a project created by Stefano Ferrari - Guitarist, Producer and Composer who graduated in Classical Guitar and Music and New Technologies at Italy Conservatory.
The project originates from the need of telling stories, experiences and impressions through sounds.
The sound concept is based on a processing of the guitar sound to arrive at a transformation of the identity of the sound source through analogue and digital devices.
Menion does not feel compelled to experiment or display an aseptic avant-garde taste; what he's eager to do is to share and research his own art, experiencing music as an opportunity for self-improvement.

Jacob Dwyer / UK
Performance

Jacob Dwyer is an artist based in Amsterdam. For Hybrida Fest, he will perform The Devil Museum; an audio drama in which we listen to the diary of a man tasked with photographing all 3,000 sculptures in a nearby museum of the same name. As the project begins to fail and the protagonist spends more time alone in their wooden cabin, the narrative moves subtly into subjects of boredom, masculinity and isolation.

Combining field recordings, live foley and original compositions by Kareem Lotfy, Jacob hopes to activate Hybrida’s rural, pine-studded setting as a backdrop to this blue and bewitching narrative.

Sigrun Gyða
Performance & Workshop

Hybrida Fest, artist and singer Sigrún Gyða (who is also one of this years residents) holds a workshop on sound creation in collective outdoor exercises. It is a meeting ground for people that find inspiration in playfulness and in how movement can change the way we think and communicate. We will look into how our bodies react to different movements or feelings and ask ourselves if the bodily feeling of tension can change the way our voices resonate. The workshop will take place in the beautiful outdoor setting of the festival.

During the festival Sigrún will also perform her work in progress, the performance opera Skjóta. She has been working on the piece as part of Hybrida AIR, seeking inspiration in the natural surroundings of the area. Skjóta (‘to shoot’ in Icelandic) talks about the individual effect one person can have in a lifetime; whether individuals really can have influence at a time of climate catastrophe. To do that Sigrún looks at the possibilities of talking about climate change through football.

Zuza & Egregore

Egregore and Zuza’s collaboration emerged as they prepared their first duo performance last year in Älvsbacka. Their project is a hybridization of digital and analog audiovisual material. At the crossroad of an archive and a future dream, they guide the audience inyo a hypnotic journey.
