Sisters of Algolore (2022)

By Deva Schubert

Radialsystem Berlin

What transpires when alpine traditions and digital culture collide? The performance Sisters of Algolore by Deva Schubert devotes itself to such social practices as whistling, yodeling, and dancing, rendering community experiential and spanning distance. In a rhythmic soundscape between alpine whips and algorithmic glitches, a hybrid reality takes shape in which past and future, nature and culture blur together. Three performers, a musician, and an intelligent alphorn machine move through these wetlands between virtual and vegetative reality, where root networks and algorithms form new patterns. In the echoes of the alphorn, the question arises: What is it that holds a community together? An imagination exercise for a non-apocalyptic, habitable future.

In 2022 the performance was invited to Transart Festival Bozen, where Lotta Beckers performed instead of Anja Müller.
