About this Event
A Nightmare on Warmoes Street is a triple bill performance night with artists Mette Sterre, Diane Mahín and G at W139. Presented inside the immersive group exhibition Temper Tantrum Bonehouse, these three solo performances explore the beyond-human body and its limitless potential.
G-string Theory – Attempting to Rise by Mette Sterre gives value to the devalued, both aesthetically and conceptually. Emerging as a monstrous femme creature with rotating manicured fingers and accompanied by a talking cyborg dog, the artist makes room for exploring and exploding the power structures that silently—although violently—regulate our lives
In GRUNT by Diane Mahín, a woman communicates solely through growling. The growler navigates various moods, telling what seems to be an urgent story or holding a seemingly intimate conversation. As she attempts to tell a joke, trauma-laden growls twist humor into a shadowy reflection.
About G: "Suburbs, Mall/s, Shopping Centres. People who are really 'into' things / Subcultures. Mourning, natural death. Graveyards. Urns. Memorial pictures. Bits n Bobs. Raves. The 'Anti Bio'. 'Non performers', 'Non Dancers' everything that we are told we are not good at or need a qualification for. Humour x 10000000000000000000000000. Power Dynamics. Eye rolls from children. Writing how I speak."
Temper Tantrum Bonehouse is a group exhibition that features works by Lolly Adams, Özgür Atlagan, Monster Chetwynd, Diane Mahín, Aimée Philips & Nina Läuger, and Mette Sterre. In this exhibition, these artists distort the body beyond limitations and familiarity, and create chimeric apparitions that defy categorization and offer counter-narratives against oppressive systems. Temper Tantrum Bonehouse will be on show at W139 from 5 September until 16 November 2025.
