RADIO TRANSMITTER SONATA. ODE TO COMMUNICATION.
Live cinema. Live performance. (c) D’epog.

A video probe into the logbook of a space crew driven to explore, only to explode. A take on discovery, ingenuity, submission, communication, and colonization. Peeking inside the black box of a shipwrecked vessel that sailed into the known. Berlin, you have a problem.

An audiovisual event balancing between live cinema and performance. The format unfolds within a cinematic situation, exploring the principles of chance, unrepeatability, and radical expressivity.

This project emerges from a long-term collaboration between the D’epog collective and Marie and Petr Šprincl — an artistic duo working under the label Flesh&Brain, known for their experimental film projects (Moravia, Beautiful Land, Satan Kingdom Babylon, Vienna Calling, and more.). The sound design is shaped by Prague-based producer, DJ, and composer Mojmír Měchura — a member of the Wrong collective and author of numerous theatre and film scores.

The performance is an intervention in the EastUnBloc exhibition at the nGbK in Berlin. The format reflects the exhibition framework and thematically focuses on the subversive mediality of socialist landscapes in the Eastern Bloc and the tension between free and censored communication as a metaphor for the dividing line of the Iron Curtain.

D’epog (www.depog.com) is a platform for contemporary performance art created by a group of artists that has been active on their home scene in Brno since 2010. Within the framework of its long-term activity, it is dedicated to creating regular productions, one-shot performances, borderline art projects and educational activities in the form of practical and specialized workshops.
