The Rise and Fall of a Meatball named Frederick and Heidi

A performance with a Dadaist spirit unfolds before the audience’s eyes, characterized by the complete absence of any meat scent and an abundance of sound. Google translate poetry, Austropop songs, digital desparation, AI interferences, dance and sweat meet in a 52-minute soundscape, a Fluxish performance.

Performance

with ER Libido, Kangela Tromokratisch & Veronique Tromokratisch

The Rise and Fall of a Meatball named Frederick and Heidi is a story of a Meatball that will assume two names, be educated, explore, and experiment as a Meatball, in preparation for the day it will finally become a Productive Meatball—and ultimately meet its end.

A performance with a Dadaist spirit unfolds before the audience’s eyes, characterized by the complete absence of any meat scent and an abundance of sound. Google translate poetry, Austropop songs, digital desparation, AI interferences, dance and sweat meet in a 52-minute soundscape, a Fluxish performance.

Guiding this surreal experience are three Fates—Veronique Tromokratisch, ER Libido and Kangela Tromokratisch—who serve as parents, gods, fates, abusers, lovers, and tormentors of the Meatball hero.

Bios:

ER Libido is an umbrella of Libi’s multiple personalities. A sexual force responsible for all performative life interactions. ER was fond of the art world before she accepted the fact that art world is all about PR. Since then Libido is trying to quit multimedia arts every month, in order to become a Tattoo artist.
Er is supporting optimism as a political drive, as no hope means no revolution, and capitalism must fall by all means. At this time, worker Libido is coming to Vienna to spread this hope by offering the fifth last performance of their career, a chapter of their life titled “I am a happy woman”, and a series of spontaneous cannibalistic acts they will share with Kangela Tromokratisch and Veronique Tromokratisch.
Pronouns: she/they/he

Kangela Tromokratisch is a psychedelic punk housewife and milf fashion icon, a true Greek goddess that loves to confuse. She has a horrible voice but insists on “singing” and is an expert in randon performance art. Together with her daughter Veronique and Er Libido they will bring chaos to Vienna for your delight only!
Pronouns: We/Shall/Conquer

Veronique Tromokratisch is a visual artist and drag performer. In Visual arts she prefers the innocent style of childish painting. She aims at evoking relief and smile of the viewer. As a performer she is influenced by fluxus and mobilizes silliness as an act of resistance against entertainment.
