Metabolic Disruption by Tot Onyx + Yuko Kaseki
at Berlin Atonal “Universal Metabolism” 11-14th September 2023

We take on the troublesome role of disruptive force of Universal
Metabolism, seeking a disorder in the alimentary canal of Kraftwerk. The
abandonment of all prior distinctions of performance, play, happening
or event for something unprecedented, a sudden error or mutation. Like a
natural orgasm, whatever happens, should happen in its natural time in
an organically chosen place in the building. Whether our intervention
causes chaos or ends in harmony is the decision of the audience members.

Onyx and Kaseki started to work in 2021, when Kaseki mentored Onyx during
Musikfonds Scholarship Program, in which Onyx studied Butoh in her quest
to subvert the boundaries of live music performance. Their on-going
project focuses on energy and frequency in terms of spirituality
(TodAncestor, 2021-ongoing) and their latest project Anarcho Noise Butoh
(2023-ongoing) explores the political side of the two radical art
forms, noise and Butoh, addressing current political issues from a
feminist perspective.

⁠Be mindful with what’s going on in the building, i hope you’ll be able to find us!

Tickets now available on Berlin Atonal official website, and on the door on day of show.⁠
