Born 1979 in Sweden, lives and works in MalmöAt Alt_Cph 2008, Kristersson, alone on stage, took a sip of water and introduced himself as – I’m an artist. If you have any questions, you can ask me now and I will answer them as honest and correct as possible. The audience asked questions that Kristersson answered truthfully while water was pouring down on his chin. The water impeded him to speak clearly and made his white t-shirt see-through.

Performances by: Jenny Grönvall, Mathias Kristersson, Emma PiliponJenny Grönvall
Mr. Meese und die Liede des Herzens; Peggy-Sue #42
At Alt_Cph 2008, she was presented a new character, Mr. Meese (a long-haired figure with a bearded face, military pants, a black t-shirt, and black boots). S/he entered with a cardboard version of Peggy-Sue ( a former alter ego of Grönvall) under one arm and a guitar under the other. With a thick German accent, s/he sang a song about the woman of his dreams, Peggy-Sue. Mr. Meese preached her/his manifest The Dictatorship of Peggy – Sue with the consensus – that art is PEGGY-SUE.Mathias Kristersson
Every time I open my mouth water comes out. It makes it difficult for me to speak.Emma Pilipon
Carmen
In ordinary clothes, a jumper and a pair of jeans, Pilipon entered Alt_Cph’s small stage. She turned on a DVD and picked up the dumbbells, and began to workout while miming to the famous Aria Boheme from Carmen. As the performance proceeded, the strain of the action in her face became more noticeable. It evoked a strong sense of intimacy from the intensified miming to the blasting music that penetrated the space.

Lilith presenterar tre performance under Alt_Cph 2008 program av tre unga konstnärer från Malmö.Jenny Grönvall
Mr. Meese und die Liede des Herzens; Peggy-Sue #42
Född 1973 i Finland, bor och arbetar i Malmö.
Jenny Grönvall presenterar sin nya alter ego Mr. Meese (en långhårig skäggig figur klädd i militärbyxor och svart t-shirt): Han/hon bär in en kartongversion av Peggy-Sue, ett tidigare alter ego av Grönvall. Med bred tysk accent sjunger han sånger om kvinnan i sina drömmar, Peggy-Sue. Mr. Meese predikar sitt manifest The Dictatorship of Peggy – Sue med konsensus – att konst är PEGGY-SUE.Mathias Kristersson
Every time I open my mouth water comes out. It makes it difficult for me to speak.
Född 1979 i Malmö, bor och arbetar i Malmö.
Kristersson står ensam på scen med en mikrofon och en kanna vatten och ett glas. Han tar en klunk vatten och introducerar sig för publiken som:
– I’m an artist. If you have any questions, you can ask me now and I will answer them as honest and correct as possible.
Publiken ställer frågor till Kristersson som svara sanningsenligt medan vattnet rinner nerför hans haka. Det rinnande vattnet gör hans tal otydligt och sluddrigt och han skjorta blir till slut genomvåt så hans hud blir blottad.Emma Pilipon
Carmen
Född 1977 i Buggeryd, bor och arbetar i Malmö.
I vanliga kläder intar Pilipon Alt_Cphs lilla scen där hon plockar upp två hantlar. Rummet fylls av stark musik från den kända arian La Bohème ur Carmen. Pilipon mimar inlevelsefullt till den dramatiska musiken medan hon arbetar hårt med hantlarna. Ju längre performance fortskrider blir ansträngningen av hennes handling mer och mer synbar i Pilipons ansikte.
