AUTUMN HIGHLIGHTS!
A striking ritual performance at CHART in Copenhagen, and the much-anticipated mega-performance by
Golden Lion–winning Lithuanian artist Lina Lapelytė, featuring a tone-deaf choir immersed in a vast sea of nettles in Malmö.
LILITH ARTIST DUO – CHART 2025
On August 29 and 31, during Copenhagen’s international art fair CHART 2025, the acclaimed artist duo LILITH will present the premiere of their
evocative new performance I AM EXTREME.
This striking outdoor procession transforms Copenhagen’s city center into a living stage. A group of performers will carry an enormously oversized arm
through the streets around Charlottenborg, past the Opera, into the metro,and around Kongens Nytorv.
Along the route, ritualistic gestures and ceremonies unfold—not as fixed spectacles, but as an exploration of how we relate to the diversity,
fragility, and perceived imperfections of the human body. The performance explores how vulnerability can be transformed into strength,
and how what is considered extreme might instead be understood as profoundly human.At the heart of this lies a newly composed opera piece, performed live.
By venturing beyond the exhibition hall and into public space, I AM EXTREME opens a field of investigation where art,
ritual, and everyday life intersect and redefine one another.
Performance schedule:
-
- August 29 at 1:00 PM & 4:00 PM
- August 31 at 1:00 PM

Study of Slope
14.11 – 7.12 2025
Lilith Performance Studio
On November 14, Lilith Performance Studio finally opens the grand performance Study of Slope
by Lina Lapelytė.
Study of Slope is a site-specific performance installation featuring a choir of “tone-deaf” or self-proclaimed non-musical singers set in a field of nettles.
Lina Lapelytė explores imbalance and deviation by highlighting individuals lacking “musical ear,” questioning dominant norms
in Western musical traditions that frequently exclude voices perceived as unfit.
Study of Slope was initially scheduled to premiere at Lilith Performance Studio in 2020 but was postponed due to the pandemic.
Since then, various versions of the piece have been presented across Europe. Now, the work will finally be realized in its intended Lilith Performance Studio format,
transforming the entire studio into a nettle field for the audience to enter.
Lina Lapelytė is internationally recognized for her genre-crossing practice, effortlessly moving between performance and experimental music,
popular cultural references, and explorations of gender norms.
