Other Realms

The stage is a dollhouse of radical absurdity: a gaping mouth built from mismatched, reassembled parts, monstrous and glamorous like the chimera, like our bodies, and a reflection of our power through hybridity, transformation, and excess. Water spills like saliva through its neon teeth as we flood the space with noise, tenderness, and fury. Survival becomes a wet screaming performance with the absolute refusal to disappear.

Ruby-Kale aka Fleshpiece is a Berlin based artist who works with and through the body—every surface, cavity, and culturally shamed corner—treating taboo as raw material rather than boundary. Their practice pulls darkness into the light, layering it with whimsy, vibrance, and texture to open space for conversation, pleasure, and the radical potential of joy. They are a self-identified material slut and ceramicist since 2006, fabricating costumes, masks, animation, and SFX, with a practice increasingly shaped by recycled materials and an empathetic queer lens.
