Part of the rainy days 2025 on -
Today’s music is overly intellectual? The 2025 festival rainy days grabs this cliché by the throat, choosing «bodies» as its theme. Bodies and physicality have always interested the arts. Especially in music, the subject is ambiguous, the idea that the body cannot do without spirit, nor the spirit without the body, more than a bon mot. The multitude of approaches to the body and bodies is reflected in the festival’s programme, once again designed for diehard fans of contemporary music and those who are simply curious alike, offering something for almost all age groups.

What you’ll hear and see

The artists

  • E.M. Parry Performance
  • K.A. Harper Performance
  • Fritha Jenkins Performance

Pricklings is an interactive, durational performance,

staging the artist as trans saint, queer icon, fetish object, or witch’s poppet – a craft project, a trial, a game. Originally performed in queer club spaces, Pricklings investigates trans embodiment, bodily autonomy and the blurred lines between the body as costume and costume as bodies. In a moment of contact and exchange, as pin penetrates surrogate flesh, religious, historical, medical and magical iconography are remixed and repurposed to create new rituals of becoming. In this new version of the work, E.M. Parry collaborates with Kith – multi-disciplinary artists and musicians Fritha Jenkins and K.A. Harper – to weave further layers of connection, slippage and entanglement through sonic intervention, splitting and sharing bodily experience.
