Priscilla Predator: geboren, leben sterben
In their duo exhibition, Paul Fritz and Virginie Sistek revisit a familiar character: Priscilla Predator, part alien messiah, part shapeshifting mystery. Her character was originally created for an episodic radio broadcast recounting her adventures on Earth. Priscilla Predator is a tale of adaptation and the struggles of communication.
For the exhibition at For, Priscilla’s humble radio show is transformed into a proto-theatrical, live-action play: a performance presented every hour, every Saturday, without actors, fully automated.

RESISTOR - Ein querfeministisches Tanzstück
Which norms, expectations, and beauty ideals shape us in public space? How do we choose our posture, movements, or seating positions to avoid glances, comments, harassment, or violence – and how does resistance emerge in small ways?
In 2023, the association femtak – a queer-feminist dance collective based in Basel – presented the participatively developed dance piece "Resistor" at ROXY Birsfelden and is now continuing to explore the same questions with a new ensemble. The performance deals with adaptation and defiance: personal experiences with patriarchal power structures, body images, and beauty norms are collected, discussed, and translated into movement through verbal and dance-based research.
Through "Resistor," the openly working collective femtak brings this practice to the stage. Anger becomes strength, silence becomes speech, community becomes resistance.
After the performance, the audience is invited to join in dancing and become part of the exchange.
