The scenery of HARDCORE FREEDOM
was activated twice a day on the opening weekend of the gallery festival Curated by in Vienna. Seven performers shifted, erected and demolished elements, carried by a frenzied soundscape. Entering a hybrid space at the crossroads of nightclub, art institution, stage and fashion boutique, the audience was immersed into the world of a whole generation of millennials oscillating between rebellion and depression.
Performers: Esben Weile Kjaer, Camilla Lind, Johan Jespersen, Judith Heinemann, Mirabella Paidamwoyo, Bita Bell, Mzamo Nondlwana
Documented by Ramiro Wong and Simon Veres![](https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d7e80d7801e7c247aac50dfe2e26034f7157da3a5c2b498d3015a52edc7caedd/Hardcore-Freedom.png)
