Performance
Spleen
The starting point of the performance is the art-historical motif of the bather. Gestures and bodily images from the history of painting merge with those drawn from the immediate surroundings of the summer pool. A figure emerges, leaping back and forth between poses, emotional states, the ideal, and the grotesque.

Gregor Kompar (1993, Bosnia) is a composer and performer based between Berlin (DE) and Narrm/Melbourne (AU).

He frequently incorporates acoustic, electronic, and self-made or adapted instruments, with each approach shaped by its context. Working under his solo moniker Gregor, his past musical performances have ranged from intimate unaccompanied sets to large ensemble presentations. He has appeared at major Australian festivals, his albums have received multiple nominations for Best Album at the Music Victoria Awards, and his work has been featured by NME, Rolling Stone, and MTV.
