    About This Event

    Paul Babe, Besche and Fragile Hands share a bill at Berlin, with Paul Babe presenting live material from his LP Dama Mesopotamica as recorded ideas are tested in a room with bodies and sound. Besche, whose work has appeared in New York City lineups at Berlin, favors clarity and strict attention to structure and timing, offering a formal counterpoint in the evening.

    About Fragile Hands

    Fragile Hands is a dance project heard in New York as part of mixed bills where club rhythm meets performance structure. At Berlin, they appear alongside Paul Babe and Besche, in a program that frames Babe’s debut LP *Dama Mesopotamica* as material that can be carried from vinyl release events into the room and onto bodies. Their work sits in that same translation: sound treated as score, movement treated as document. It reads less like narrative than like a record of pressure, repetition, and drift.
