LABOUR live at Metabolic Rift

In September 2021, the team behind Berlin Atonal launched a new live concept in response the challenging conditions presented by the Covid19 pandemic. Titled Metabolic Rift, the monthlong event series combined both an exhibition spread across Berlins Kraftwerk venue and a series of concerts that captured the spirit of Berlin through sitespecific interventions and live performance. One of the highlights from Metabolic Rifts live programme was a performance from LABOUR, the project from Berlinbased multidisciplinary artists Farahnaz Hatam and Colin Hacklander that combines their experience in molecular biology, sound art and posttonal theory to create works that interrogate existential questions and the power structures that form our collective reality. LABOURs Metabolic Rift performance, which were presenting highlights of above, featured the debut of a brand new show. LABOUR says: the hit of enlightenment (بیگانگی) debuted at Metabolic Rift 20
