Raimundas Malašauskas has co-written an opera libretto, co-produced a television show, served as an agent for dOCUMENTA (13), curated oO, the Lithuanian and Cyprus pavilions at the 55th Venice Biennale, works with GES-2 in Moscow and keeps occurring under hypnosis.

Xavier Le Roy holds a doctorate in molecular biology from the University of Montpellier, France, and has worked as an artist since 1991. Since 2018 he is Professor at the Institute for Applied Theater Studies in Giessen - Germany. His works produce situations that question the relationships between spectators/visitors and performers and are an attempt to transform or reconfigure dichotomies such as object/subject, animal/human, machine/human, nature/culture, public/private, form/unform.

Scarlet Yu is a Hong Kong-born Berlin-based dance artist. Her work navigates the in-betweenness of the politic and the poetic of listening and storytelling and the paradoxical aspect of Memory, body in autobiography.
