Presented by bee-flat + BONE, coordinated in friendship with Full Of Lava and Queersicht
In collaboration with bee-flat, BONE makes a bold opening by inviting the queer activist Laurène Marx and Rok&Dudu from France, setting their engaged, poetic language in dialogue with a performance by Yuko Kaseki & Tot Onyx from Berlin.
Bern becomes a meeting place for fascinating, oscillating figures who have much to share with us about body and language art. Yuko and Tot perform with and around a cement mixer, laying the foundation for this year’s theme: ‘Craft, Material, and Body’!
Tot Onyx is the experimental solo project of Tommi, blending sound art, body performance, and visual elements. She first gained recognition as part of the duo group A, noted for its radical live performances combining noise, poetry, and painting. Her work deliberately breaks with traditions and clichés, embodying rebellion, reinterpretation, and artistic freedom. Beyond music, her background in graphic design and photography shapes her performative, often interdisciplinary practice—most recently in projects such as Universal Metabolism at Berlin Atonal.
Yuko Kaseki is a Berlin-based Butoh dancer, choreographer, and director who has been performing worldwide for decades. Her work weaves together dance, improvisation, and live art into poetic, transformative performances that bring marginalized perspectives into visibility. With her company cokaseki, she explores the intersections of dance, visual art, and experimental music. She collaborates regularly with international artists, initiates improvisation series such as AMMO-NITE GIG, and performs at festivals across the globe.

HANDWERK

KÖRPER
Die 27. Ausgabe des Performancefestivals BONE widmet sich rohen Materialien, dem Machen und Herstellen, sowohl in der Performancekunst, als auch im städtischen gewerblichen Handwerken. BONE treibt aktuell die Lust, in gesellschaftliche Zusammenhänge einzutauchen. Bereits 2024 rutschte das Programm in die Peripherien der Stadt: in Müllhalden, Sandgruben und anders marginale oder an den Rand getriebene Bereiche unserer Gesellschaft.
Dieses Jahr geht es mitten hinein in die Gesellschaft und das Treiben der Innenstadt, mit zahlreichen Kooperationen, Interventionen und Ortsspezifischem von und mit aussergewöhnlichen Performancekünstler*innen von lokal, interregional, dem europäischen Umland und dem globalen Süden.
Das diesjährige Programm wurde kollektiv kuratiert von den 4 Berner Performancekünstler*innen Ernestyna Orlowska, Zoë Binetti, Jeanne Spaeter und Martin Schick, wobei ihre jeweils künstlerische Praxis sich auch in das Festival einwebt.
Das Key-Visual für das Plakat wurde gemeinsam mit der Performancekünstlerin Talaya Schmid entwickelt, photographiert von Sabrina Friio.
CRAFTING
MATERIAL
BODIES
The 27th edition of the performance festival BONE is dedicated to raw materials, the making and crafting—both within performance art and in the city’s artisanal work and trade environment. BONE is driven by the desire to immerse itself in social contexts, as it already did in 2024 when it was sliding into the city’s peripheries. Now it moves right into the bustle of the city center, with numerous collaborations, site-specific and interventionist works, together with performing artists from the local scene, across regions, from the European surroundings, and from the Global South.
This year’s program was collectively curated by the four Bern-based performance artists Ernestyna Orlowska, Zoë Binetti, Jeanne Spaeter, and Martin Schick, with each of their artistic practices weaving into the festival itself.
The key visual for the festival poster was developed in collaboration with performance artist Talaya Schmid and photographed by Sabrina Friio.
