El Hechizo del Viejecito

Recital-concert where PERLA's voice and poems are mixed with BERENICE's electronic music.

With JOVENDELAPERLA and BERENICE.

In the middle of a storm that lasted for weeks, drops of madness began to slide down the white walls of my room. Out of nowhere my body felt the desire to want to touch instinct, the most human instinct, the stroke of a prehistoric painting.

I was and am disguise, like the unicorn of Lascaux, like magic.

"El Hechizo del Viejecito" is the project of JOVENDELAPERLA and BERENICE where they investigate the language, the sounds and the temporalities of the spaces of ecstasy. A recital-concert where Perla's voice and poems are mixed with Berenice's live electronic music, creating a piece outside any linear narrative.

Perla Zúñiga aka JOVENDELAPERLA is an artist, poet and DJ. She directs the LGTBQ+ CULPA collective and is part of the PoemRoom conference series. In her work she explores language through different media such as music, performance and video. She has made DJsets for radio stations such as Rinse, NTS or Mutant Radio Tblisi. As a producer she has collaborated with Uruguayan producer Lechuga Zafiro and Chilean producer Tomás Urquieta.

Vera Amores aka BERENICE is a model, DJ, music producer and multidisciplinary artist.

She is founder, together with the artist JOVENDELAPERLA, of the queer electronic music collective CULPA, performing several parties since 2019 in Madrid, Barcelona and Berlin. Her eclectic mixes overflow with transfemininity and syncretism, breaking with conventional techno by using Latin beats and breakbeats, Björk remixes, cinematic melodies and the sounds of an eel's orgasm. His work has been exhibited at Boiler Room (Barcelona, 2021), Poem Room a Conde Duque (Madrid, 2020) or Museo de Carmen (Valencia, 2021).
