the paranormal φeer group is a q***r collective for sound/space-based performances and transdisciplinary discourse. The three members Jakob Boeckh & Maria Huber & Ole Hübner met each other during their joint studies at the Giessen Institute of Applied Theater Studies and since then – meanwhile with work bases in Hamburg and Berlin – have been working together as an artistic-scientific collective.
They understand both artistic creation and theoretical discourse as inseparably interwoven strategies with political, q***r and utopian aspirations. Their collaborative works playfully reflect on experiences, perspectives, and methods from their individual professional backgrounds – primarily in dramaturgy, scenography, and composition – and intersect them with each other anew in each project. As a team, they function in a radically discursive, experimental and non-hierarchical manner, conceiving all parameters of an artistic work as equal and in reciprocal influence. Current joint works include the sound-based lecture-performance Staying Broken with Neo Hülcker (Festival für immaterielle Kunst, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, 09/2020), the interactive online installation/performance Befriending Ghosts – Digital Hauntings with Armen Avanessian, Neo Hülcker and Buraq Ertuerk (Volksbühne Berlin digital / HAU4, digital stage of Hebbel am Ufer Berlin @ Performing Arts Festival Berlin) and the sound-based performative installation Loss of Signal (of course I still love you) with Amélie Haller, Julia Mihály, Lydia Schmidl and Miguel Ángel García Martín (MS Stubnitz Hamburg, 08/2021).
