TREVOGA × SPELL_LOCKET

We welcome back SPELL_LOCKET, a Rotterdam-based curatorial platform fostering encounters between performance, sound, installation and club culture. Moving away from the fixed stage, each edition constructs an immersive environment where artists, audiences and spaces become entangled in a shared world.

This edition is co-curated and produced in collaboration with Amsterdam-based collective TREVOGA.

Step through the threshold SPELL_LOCKET and TREVOGA create for you and enter a maze of interconnected experiences, where each work gradually unfolds into the next.

This night has three acts: Acidic Male (live set); XX-63, a dance-theatre piece from TREVOGA; and a hybrid DJ set from k0priva. Expect industrial sound, intense physicality, hypnotic rhythms, and a space where synthetic pleasure comes with an anxious aftertaste.

SPELL_LOCKET and TREVOGA go rogue, taking theatre off-stage and into the cracks between DIY, the club and high-brow art._____________

ACTSTREVOGA — XX-63TREVOGA is a multidisciplinary collective based in Amsterdam whose work exists between dance, theatre, sound and visual art. From dreamers to doomers and affect aliens drawn towards intensity, TREVOGA is a community of movers who resist convention. Baked in a vestibule of Hell, Trevoga’s second ‘danced-theatre piece’, XX-63, inhabits "the exhausted afterlife of counterculture". Through repetition and aborted gestures, XX-63 takes you into a standstill suspended between dreamstate and delay, where euphoric repetition begins to feel tight, and withdrawal becomes not merely a symptom, but a tactic.

ACIDIC MALEAcidic Male moves between industrial sound, hypnotic rhythms, noise and experimental vocals, inhabiting the tension between softness and abrasion, violence and comfort, seduction and collapse. Through themes of sexuality, shame, revenge and bodily memory, sound becomes a means of rupture and altered perception, ultimately returning to the body’s capacity to transform.

k0privak0priva is an entity inhabiting the space between DJ set, ritual and sonic storytelling. Moving through hypnotic, industrial and visceral rhythms, she builds unstable worlds where seduction, tension and release slowly take possession of the body.
