Monsters are often seen as terrifying and larger than life. However, they also challenge the boundaries assigned to us, questioning the beauty standards and dictates our society defines. I dream of you my friend by BORA in collaboration with Eloise Canavesio is a multimorphic experience, taking you on an immersive and intimate journey into a universe where creatures, monsters, and angels coexist.
Lost Encounters, They Cling by Valentino Skarwan draws from Guatemalan myths, where human and non-human worlds intertwine. Syncretism is evident in every word, alive in the blending, the bending, the enduring power of what refuses to disappear. The performance seeks to uncover what lingers: gestures that shift shape, symbols that hide ancestral meanings, and bodies that carry more than they were meant to. Valentino Skarwan creates space for the in-between, for what doesn’t conform, for hybrid bodies that bend instead of break.
As part of the S_P_I_T_ festival, Lazy Life will temporarily open an outdoor break room, providing a space for visitors to relax and socialise together. Lazy Life aims to redefine laziness as a form of resistance. durational timeout invites everyone to connect, chill out and celebrate idleness

Artist Bio
BORA
(they/them) is a shapeshifter exploring different mediums that together form a universe where imagination is activism. A mirror of the present where one can reflect with a burning wish to open a space for queer representations. Through digital creation, installation, sound or performance, their body of work investigates imaginary landscapes as a way of navigating our reality through tenderness.Valentino Skarwan
(they/them) is an artist, performer, and choreographer whose practice unfolds through an interdisciplinary approach, moving across performance, sculpture, and installation. For Skarwan, intimacy operates as an ecological concept – a way to understand our interdependence with human and non-human entities.Lazy Life
(2017–2023) was a collectively organised, consumption-free space dedicated to queer-feminist art, culture and self-chosen forms of representation. It was created by Magdalena Fischer, Thomas Trabisch and Matthias Julian a. o. Under this name, they explored different modes and articulations of collaboration. -
