REIF and Julia Stoschek Foundation presented Eventide at the Foundation’s venue in Berlin, Germany on September 15 and 16, 2022. The site-specific performance was a collaboration between artist Fa’ Pawaka and sonic activation design duo LABOUR, which included a guided journey through the Julia Stoschek Foundation building with sound choreography.
Organized by Berlin-based collective REIF, the program proposed a reconsideration of predisposed ideas and limitations, incorporating Fa’ Pawaka’s method of ‘Sacred Tuning’ to evoke altered states of consciousness in a finale performance that the audience arrived into following LABOUR’s unsettling sound parkours. It was part of REIF’s previous community-led explorations, which have been released as parties, collaborative LPs, and videos.
