​

 A continuous improvisation of spoken word, along with abstract rhythmic beats created on the synthesizer of Dynno, who developed this form of narrative in 2016 and has since presented their work in dark rooms, during guided tours and group shows. Dada orchestrates a coexistence of conflicting patterns of thought, through a stream of consciousness verbalization, the result of which is left to be directly influenced by the environment and the given circumstances.  This time, the format will be enriched with pop music and lip-syncs and will function as a contemporary physical triptych: a cabaret performance in a gallery, a portable sculpture exhibition, a dance floor.

Dionisis Argyropoulos Ioannou (aka Dynno Dada) is an anarcho-feminist misfit, body identity performer and creator. Alongside their studies in Fine Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Dynno's drag was born in 2014 in Amsterdam's underground gay fetish community as part of the House of Hopelezz. Dionisis dives into every facet of performance, directing solo and group acts, designing stage costumes and planning drag shows for parties. Their practice includes character development and anthropological research dealing with different (sub)cultures and communities. By physically and theoretically mingling between them they bring up their own reading on the intertwining of tradition, heritage, gender and culture. As the founding mother of the performance fashion brand Maison Jaja (circa 2018), the works they create function as hacks, disrupting these economies and modes of production, creating space for experimentation and interdisciplinary discussion. Previous works have been presented at HKW (Berlin), Carré Theater (Amsterdam), Kampnagel (Hamburg), Arti et Amicitiae (Amsterdam), Whole and Fusion Festivals (Germany). ​
