Alex Franz Zehetbauer will undetake a 1-week residency at Warehouse9. IPAF, in collaboration with BUZZCUT Festival (Glasgow) have been awarded a grant from European Festivals Fund for Emerging Artists – EFFEA, to support and offer Alex Franz Zehetbauer a platform to further develop his work An Evening With on a European level through a residency, presentation and network opportunities.
Activities whilst at Warehouse9:
12 – 18 August: Residency to further develop An Evening With
16th August: Salon evening with Alex Franz Zehetbauer as part of Warehouse9’s Queerlands.
An Evening With is a playful & absurdist celebration of the ritual of the song as a force for coming together, to mourn, to resonate, as a call to protest, to tell stories, and to manifest alternative futures. In the performance, Zehetbauer slips into various roles each with their own song(s) to offer to the audience; catchy tunes that dismantle hierarchies between humans and nature, reach for queer futures, and seek to manifest economies of care over profit.
Alex Franz Zehetbauer (*1990 in Brooklyn) creates performances, sonic choreographies, and songs. In his newest work, An Evening with, he hosts the audience with a trickster humor while mesmerizing them with his thunderous and tender vocals. His ear-worm melodies live somewhere between avant-pop and medieval-plainsong and his lyrics oscillate between the earnest and the absurd. Critics have called him: an angel, a swamp monster, and a red-eyed demon. He studied vocal performance, choreography, acting and composition at the Experimental Theater Wing at NYU Tisch School of the Arts and the International Theater Workshop in Amsterdam. Alex has collaborated with artists such as Phillip Gehmacher, Jen Rosenblit, Taylor Mac, Marta Navaridas and Alix Eynaudi.
