WERKSTÜCK - FALL 2026
During a two-week artistic research residency in Dreilinden (Lucerne), the duo Klexs, alongside Pia Matthes (scenographic installation) and Julien Mégroz (composition), are exploring the themes of weaving and textiles. This interdisciplinary project combines music, applied arts and traditional craftsmanship by transposing historical textile production techniques into contemporary sound art and performance.
The mechanical aspects of weaving, knitting and sewing, as well as hyper-industrialisation and gender inequalities, are the subject of artistic exploration.
WERKSTÜCK seeks to blur the boundaries between concert, installation and craftsmanship.
A residency showcase followed by drinks will take place on 7 November at 5.00 pm.

WANDELBAR - WINTER 2026
This project explores the boundaries between acoustic instrumental sound and its transformations through electroacoustic processing. Sound is transformed into an augmented sound object.
Our duo transforms into a laboratory dedicated to sonic mutation. The instruments thus appear as modular, constantly evolving sound bodies, oscillating between acoustic presence, electronic projection and conceptual reflection.
The programme covers a broad sonic spectrum: from solo pieces with or without acoustic sound processing to a composition in which the viola and saxophone are transformed into loudspeakers.

ABSURDITÄT
Beginning 2026
Absurd – a word that perfectly describes our times. Between global crises and tensions within artistic circles, this project explores the mechanisms of the incomprehensible. Instead of political slogans, we use playfulness and humour, combining music and performance in a quirky and enigmatic universe.
Absurdity is not only a reflection of the world here, it is also a tool: with a wry smile, it offers us a space for reflection. The programme features two creations by Felix Nussbaumer and Gemma Ragués Pujol, accompanied by works by Peter Conradin Zumthor and Georges Aperghis, Charlotte Torres and Carola Bauckholt.
