Hosted by Isabel Lewis feat. Elisabeth Bakambamba Tambwe, Sabina Holzer, Alice Hu, Dean Moss, Steffi Parlow, Camilla Schielin, Sissel Tolaas, Elizabeth Ward

As a dancer and choreographer, Isabel Lewis is interested in the relations between the individual components of a live situation and how these can be brought into composition. In her so-called hosted occasions, she eases the formalities of focused, distanced observation typically found within the theater context and creates an aesthetic situation in which visitors can drift in and out of attention and sociality. As host, the artist invites guests to sit, lie, sway, move, contemplate, converse, or simply be with one another in the landscape that will transform Halle G, unfolding a live experience attuned to the mood of the evening. Choreography, music, and stories, as well as special scents composed by artist and smell-researcher Sissel Tolaas and amuse-bouches by local artist and chef Steffi Parlow, address the entire human sensorium.
