The veil grows thin. The portal opens. A third -TOPIA unfolds across three realms of sound, vision and movement. In this fleeting world between worlds, becoming is the only way through. Dive headfirst into an exploration of the inbetween, the liminal, and the imagined.

【 -𝙏𝙊𝙋𝙄𝘼 】

The -TOPIA experience returns for its third year: this time, a multidisciplinary meditation on existence and what lies beyond. Marking the third festival and ninth installment of Tessellate Club’s art and music series, -TOPIA will once again transform the Abbotsford Convent into a living canvas of sound, performance, art and play.

Surrender to transform.

Unravel to become.

LOIF
Englisch – Deutsch, Deutsch – Englisch, klingt Englisch ist Deutsch. Das ist LOIFIOR, eine Band aus der Hansestadt Lüneburg, die genauso gut aus Großbritannien kommen könnte, einzig verraten durch ihre lyrischen deutschen Texte. Sphärische Gitarrensounds, getrieben von pumpenden Beats und drückenden Bässen, angeführt von einer starken, einmaligen, tiefgreifenden Stimme. Zwei Brüder und zwei, die zu Brüdern wurden. Immer auf der Suche, auf der Jagd nach dem nächsten großen Abenteuer. Angetrieben von dieser Abenteuerlust tourten LOIFIOR in England, wo der Film „Road to Manchester“ entstand. Sie spielten Konzerte in Dänemark, den Niederlanden, Großbritannien und Deutschland. Sie spielten Festivals, wie das Reeperbahn-Festival, Rocken am Brocken oder das Wutzrock. Sie eröffneten für Bands wie The Veils. Sie performten mit MINE und produzierten mit Olaf Opal. Sie gewannen den Rockcity Preis. Da muss mehr, da geht mehr, da kommt mehr. Echo Wave
