xaxalxe (LucĂ­a, she/her) is a Brussels-based musician. She weaves melodic landscapes and short songs, using her gameboy as an instrument, along with biological and synthetic voices. Her compositions are inspired by lullabies, by the songs you’re sure you’ve heard but have already forgotten, and by the melodies and magic of nature. 

Maria Casado is a Brussels-based performance and visual artist working across performance, costume, installation, movement, writing and collective ritual. Raised in a small village in France and marked by experiences of rurality, devotion and popular culture, her work explores the body as a site of transformation, memory and emotional excess. Before studying art, she worked as a shepherd — an experience that continues to influence her relationship to landscape, slowness, care and animality.
