Lyn Bentschik situates her art at the intersection of performance, choreography and visual art.

(Literatur & Music)
Dominic Oppliger writes in a mix of Zurich and Aargau dialect — exactly as he hears it. His texts thrive on rhythm and turn everyday life into a physical experience. With a musical background and performative experience, he combines poetry and language to create a unique style.
(Music / Drums)
Vincent Glanzmann is a drummer, sound designer and creative director based in Zurich. His work celebrates the joy of detail and aesthetics, characterised by an open and playful attitude. In his music, he combines electroacoustic experiments with an intimate and unique sound language. Influenced by his childhood in Tokyo, he brings the care and precision of Japanese design to his interdisciplinary projects.
