Fatima Spar und die Freedom Fries
The hottest import and export product ´ coming from the austrian world music scene: fatima spar & the freedom fries , without any doubt, is live up to their reputation. Live on stage and on their current album ´zirzop´, with an intensity, a dynamism and an enthusiasm, that´exhilerates, that swishes and swooshes and hisses and rattles. The bands name was derived from a questionable fait divers in recent history when US public opinion-makers decided to change the name French Fries into ´freedom fries´. Anyone remember why? influences, languages, rhythms.... the impressive craftmanschip of the band members and their playfulness on stage.
The past year Fatima Spar & the Freedom Fries performed live in more than 15 countries, playing concerts from Tunis to New York and from Helsinki to Istanbul.

Peyoti for President
(Sordid Soup Records)
Peyoti is a self styled anti-hero. We welcome them back once again to the ensuing madness. Peyoti is high octane guitar slinger opposing musical lethargy and conformity. His hybrid style of contemporary world fusion is a combination of Hispanic, Brazilian, Arabic and Caribbean influence pinned together by a more western sensibility. With a voice sun drenched in debauched passion he is an inspired and gifted guitarist who attempts to seduce his audience with melody and serenity interjected with explosive bursts of punky mayhem. Playing with some of the most innovative and diverse world musicians, ’Peyoti for President' is truly unique. A gig unparalleled, a universe of unexplored territory - an atom about to be split wide open. Vote Peyoti!

Psychological Art Circus
Psychological Art Circus has, since 2004, been operating professionally cross-platform in London, Paris, Zagreb and Bogotá. PAC has happened in woodyard and church, theatres and bandstands; academy, galleries and gymnasium; within exhibitions, festivals and, in 2006, the 4th Latin Convention of Circus to complete a first South American commission successfully playing to audiences of over 2000.
Olive explores the physical and visual mysteries of light, sound, death, after-death and rebirth through contemporary visual theatre practices. Based on the writings of Olive Pixley, the show invites spectators to journey into the Egyptian and Hermetic mysteries, the knowledge of magical and spiritual forces and the revelation of the technique of light.

Kika
Performing - 'Arkidol'
Butoh (?? buto) is the collective name for a diverse range of techniques and motivations for dance inspired by the Ankoku-Butoh movement. It typically involves playful and grotesque imagery performed in white-body makeup but there is no set style. Its origins have been attributed to Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno. Butoh is an enigma, an ever-evolving mystery. Violent or peaceful, slow or manic, painfully intimate or grandly spectacular, freely improvised or choreographed in stylized gestures, Butoh seems to fly away from itself, resisting definition or explanation, yet profoundly transforming those who encounter it.
