A project situated at the crossroads of concert, radio play, and performance. Tense and uncompromising, GHSTING is the result of a collaboration between Alex Freiheit and Aleksandra Słyż. It blends fiction, spoken-word poetry, and stage antics with dense synthetic sounds and acoustic landscapes.
Everything unfolds in a sinister hotel somewhere in Eastern Europe, a place full of secrets, humor, and darkness. Alex Freiheit, a poet and vocalist known from the duo SIKSA, has for years been transforming personal and feminist narratives into performative stories about the body, shame, and anger. In a duo with composer Aleksandra Słyż, an artist working between acoustics and electronics, she creates a tale of a woman-ghost haunting hotel guests. These stories bring in lies, exaggeration, and emotion—everything people tend to hide in embarrassment.
The music builds tension, shifting from dark, unsettling textures to almost contemplative moments of silence. Freiheit’s voice becomes a guide through a world of emotions—raw, honest, and deeply embodied.
Słyż divides the narrative into four chapters, organically interweaving the sounds of synthesizers, wind and percussion instruments with Freiheit’s voice.
GHSTING is a sonic narrative about the body, anger, and irony—about the secrets hidden behind the doors of anonymous hotel rooms. It’s a contemporary Eastern European horror in the form of a musical performance: intense, sensual, and disturbingly real.
