Die Hörposaune
Film Premiere
by
Jule Fierl, Antonia Baehr, Isabell Spengler
In the frame of FEMINIST FUTURES FESTIVAL
An imaginary reading circle or vocal performance: A small audience and two performers are seated on an anamorphic peacock feather carpet tapering into an oversized vulva. All wear transparent spheres around their heads, in which their surroundings are reflected in a distorted way. In an undetermined future, they read aloud from large, illustrated books - with spit, panting, oral sounds and singing - in memory of the queer icon and altus Klaus Nomi, one of the first public figures to die in the wake of the AIDS pandemic. In a binaural duet, the two performers reinterpret anatomical representations and vulva-like flower arrangements that pop out of the book pages. Daydream-like, as if to save them from oblivion, the film delves into the guts of fantastical, queer body imaginations.

Jule Fierl
Jule Fierl is a dance and voice artist from Berlin. Her practice lives between experimental choreography and somatic singing methods, in which she develops scores to unsettle the relationship between seeing and hearing. She revives and continues the legacy of Valeska Gert, avant-garde dancer from 1920's Berlin, who first conceptualized the term SoundDance: to dance with one's voice. She hosts the voice performance series FROM BREATH TO MATTER in Berlin. For 2021/22 she collaborates in different formats with choreographer Antonia Baehr and SoundDance artist Irena Z. Tomazin.
Antonia Baehr
Antonia Baehr is a choreographer living in Berlin. Her pieces explore, among other things, the fiction of the everyday and the theater. Baehr studied with Valie Export Berlin and completed her Master's degree at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Antonia Baehr currently collaborates in duos with Lucile Desamory, Neo Hülcker, Andrea Neumann, Latifa Laâbissi, and Jule Flierl. Baehr is producer of horse whisperer and dancer Werner Hirsch (who also appears in Pauline Boudry & Renate Lorenz film installations); musician and choreographer Henri Fleur; composer/performer and ex-husband Henry Wilde.
Isabell Spengler
Isabell Spengler is a film maker and artist working in expanded cinema. In her films and video installations she analyzes and mediates diverging constructions of realities, imaginary worlds and their representation. Inhabiting a world of self-designed costumes, props, language, logic and time-structure, her fantastic looking protagonists transform the real environments they encounter. Developing new conceptual forms of structural, narrative and expanded cinema, she collaborated as a performer, director and author with choreographer Antonia Baehr, composer*/performer* Neo Hülcker, artist/film maker Lucile Desamory and Los Angeles-based sculptor Alice Könitz, amongst many others. She is a member of the feminist art collective Maternal Fantasies, founded in 2018.
