Artistic Aperitifs

The Artistic Aperitifs are a convivial hour in the early evening when everyone gathers in the foyer of TQW Studios to raise a glass together before the program continues in Halle G. The toasts are given by artists as short performances – an invitation to speak, sing, gesticulate, or dance in an address to the audience in direct form. A performative toast can be a space in which emotions and inspirations can be shared publicly. It can be a space for new ideas, for mourning, for protest, for rage, and also for celebration. 

Before dance historian Eike Wittrock seizes this moment to sing Karaoke, artists Claudia Lomoschitz and Alex Franz Zehetbauer deliver a queer-feminist sensorial toast to future realms and the cultural history of lactation.

    Alex Franz Zehetbauer

    is a performance artist and vocalist working at the intersection of performance, music, visual arts, and choreography. In his performances, he beguiles with sophisticated melodies, strange vocal escapades, and unexpected twists. Critics have called him a swamp monster, an angel, and a red-eyed demon. He studied vocal performance, choreography, acting, and composition at the Experimental Theater Wing at NYU Tisch School of the Arts and the International Theater Workshop in Amsterdam. Recent presentations of his work include: MDT, Stockholm (2025); Sophiensaele, Berlin (2025); CCA Glasgow (2025); HochX, Munich (2025); Tanzquartier Wien (2025); Steirische Herbst, Graz (2024); C-Mine, Genk (2024); Gwangju Bienniale (2024); Warehouse9, Copenhagen (2024); Gessneralle Zürich (2024).
