Biographies
Sissi Rada
Sissi Rada is a multifaceted artist who has navigated the realms of both classical and electronic music with finesse. Hailing from Athens, Sissi has carved a distinctive niche for herself with her unique blend of ethereal vocals, classical harp, innovative soundscapes, and a fearless approach to genre-defying musical exploration. Both as an electronic musician and classical harpist she has collaborated with Brian Eno, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Andi Toma of Mouse on Mars, Jay Glass Dubs, and Lena Platonos.

Kinga Ötvös with Admina & Sofia Zadar
A collaborative performance between three strong artistic personalities resulted from the ATOPIA residency. Kinga Ötvös is a shapeshifter and voice acrobat based in Berlin. With degrees in academic vocal and acting studies, their art landed at the confluence of different territories such as music, theatre, drag and performance art. Admina is a DJ, producer, visual artist, live performer and founding member of the Corp. platform. Sofia Zadar brings their experimental pop persona, vocal sensibilities and transformational power to the performance.
Abstracting the familiar noises of sports, this project transforms them into an experimental auditory experience that redefines how we perceive the energy, tension, and sonic nuances of movement through a queer lens.

Santiago Latorre
Moved by stories of injury and recovery, Santiago Latorre designs systems that connect light and sound through movement, weaving together multiple timelines of healing. Like someone who loses their sight and begins to see better, Latorre’s work shows the capacity of the body as a focus of associations, of material and immaterial encounters with sound and with other bodies. He presents a solo depiction of his performance “Architecture of Friendship”.

HA KYOON
With a circus, dance & acting background, HA KYOON is a protean artist born in South Korea, and based in Paris. The body or physicality have always been central, whatever forms it has taken, in his artistic practice. HA KYOON is his first musical project (in permanent mutation) with trigged drum machines, synths and voice. His new piece “Memory For The Future” was presented recently by Lafayette Anticipations in Paris.
