Halfie + the0ther
A shared search for meaning on the dancefloor, between hope and collapse.
Two performers turning electronics and percussion into shared ground.
When the news is unbearable, the climate is collapsing, and everything feels urgent.
Why spend time making music?
Halfie + the0ther confront that tension head-on. In moments like these, music—and art, and even we ourselves—can feel unnecessary. And yet, we continue. Not to escape, but to feel. To search for meaning, in what we do and why we do it.
This project explores how music—especially electronic, rhythm-driven— can hold space for both despair and hope. The result is an intense 33-minute live performance rooted in co-creation, designed for club and hybrid performance spaces. The audience surrounds the duo and is free to move, drift, and physically engage with the sound. What unfolds is an organic, deeply human encounter: shared perspectives, a shared dancefloor, shared ways of coping.
This is a project about reclaiming joy as an act of resistance.
About building value through process, not just outcome.
About believing, even now, that what we do still matters.
Line-up: Anushka Chkheidze (electronics), Jonathan Bonny (percussion, vocals)
