A Witch-House-Rave between Archive, Body and Resistance
How does history continue? The concert performance Cult Baby: against SUFFOCATION by the Mannheim collective böse blumen transforms a historical archival find into an intense live experience. At the center is the mention of some wicked women in the witch fundamental book of Ortenau and the story of Anna Sütterlin from Schutterwald in 1557.
Historical Traces Meet Electronic Ecstasy
Starting from a familial connection and an almost extinguished pre-feminist union, böse blumen examines how historical witch narratives, current witch hunts, and digital internet aesthetics are being rewritten in the present. The performance combines music production, text, stage performance, and artistic research into a cross-format concert experience.
High-Intensity Witch-House-Rave
A dark, resistant sound space emerges on stage: loud sound, intense lighting moods, stage fog, and a physically charged atmosphere coalesce into a Witch-House-Rave. Orchestration and synchronization of music, light, and movement create a live atmosphere between ecstasy, vulnerability, and care.
Part of the 25th Anniversary of zeitraumexit
Cult Baby: against SUFFOCATION is part of the performative anniversary program celebrating the 25th anniversary of zeitraumexit. The Mannheim artist house stands for performance art, experimental concerts, installations, and cross-genre projects. The collective böse blumen works in multi-year, process-oriented research on the intersections of music, text, performance, and societal engagement.
Important Notes on the Concert Experience
The event is open to ages 18 and older and will be presented in German and English. Visitors can expect a performance with strobe lights, intense lighting effects, stage fog, high volume, and allergenic natural materials. Topics addressed will include sexualized discrimination, explicit and partly sexualized representations of bodies, bodily fluids, and religious symbolism.
Conclusion: An Evening for Open Senses
Cult Baby: against SUFFOCATION connects historical research with experimental music, physical stage performance, and societal reflection. Those who want to experience a bold, unusual, and sensually intense concert performance in Mannheim will find an evening at zeitraumexit that blends witch archive, contemporary critique, and dancable darkness.
