ASH, HORIZON, RIDING A HOUSE
NETTI NÜGANEN with PIRE SOVA & KISLING
2025
In a world where land, language and folklore have become commodities, the only place you're welcome back is outside - where greenery is no longer the primary reference. Instead, uneven floorboards, illusion mirrors and trickster steps form profitable landscapes.
Nüganen, Kisling and Sova, as a reaction, open up their ice-manufacturing enterprise. In the backdrop of nightmares and constant dripping they navigate between multiple perspectives on locality, accompanied by CDJs and a banjo. At Earth magnitude they are specks of dust, and next to geological time as-if on speed. They trace locality from places where the influence of one dominant culture has made imported goods part of folklore, while the word 'local' still adds value when making choices as a tourist. "Ash, horizon, riding a house" is a series of chain-reactions that invites the audience to envision a belonging - one that cannot be seen from here. It must be imagined.
Premiere: May 2, 2025, Rakete Festival TQW Vienna
