inklingroom at Tantsunädal Festival

inklingroom presents an evening of live performance and experimental sound bringing together artists working across dance, performance art, electronic and club music.

The programme features new performance works, live acts and DJs from the artists approach the body, voice, and sound through endurance, interaction, and improvisation. A live camera, water, light, fire and sound will shape the space of Koidu Seltsimaja for a few hours of Tantsunädal Festival. Is it a rave or performance night, we don't know but we question: What happens if the stage is treated less as a place of representation and more as a testing ground for visibility? What if we allow strangers to intervene in real time, turning the stage into an interface between the physical body and a distant crowd.

None of the works attempt to produce a spectacle in the traditional sense. Instead they might introduce conditions — instructions, repetitions, or limitations — and allow the body to negotiate them in front of an audience.

Throughout the evening we will occupy the old theatre space in parallel, altering its atmosphere through dance and music, electronics, improvised structures, sometimes surrounding the stage, sometimes pulling attention away from it.

Lucy Dream Rose is a live performance centered on a fictional character who enters online chat spaces to communicate with strangers during the performance.
Lucy asks viewers what she should do to herself and responds to their instructions in real time. Her actions, appearance, and behaviour shift based on these interactions. A live camera and projection make the mediated image part of the performance.
The work explores digital identity, shared authorship, and the instability of self-image in networked environments.

Ya no estás tan mal is a performance about what remains after emotional distress, when the impulse to move appears again and things begin to grow. Exploring intimacy, sensuality, and vulnerability, it uses movement as its primary form of expression, bringing together different elements to create a sensory environment where the body slowly shifts, opening and reorganising itself.

Martina Liendo is an experimental artist who works through improvisation to investigate the unconscious. Her practice explores the physicality and physiognomy of movement, intimacy, sensuality, and touch, examining how these elements emerge through interpersonal connections. Through the use of abstract and metaphorical language, she creates immersive works that establish a unique connection with the audience. Her process reflects the origins of her artistic journey as a child, when she first began creating in her room as a way to inhabit and navigate her inner world.

In Breathing, the performer continuously breathes and produces sound while inhaling and exhaling until her voice and body become exhausted.
Breath becomes the central material of the performance. The work examines control, vulnerability, and endurance while placing a normally automatic bodily process under observation.
