PIQSIQ

In the organizer's words:

Playful millennial tradition

The two sisters Inuksuk Mackay and Tiffany Ayalik bring the traditional throat singing of the Inuit people up-to-date with modern electro beats in a unique way - and also to Hamburg as part of the "Arctic Voices" festival. The centuries-old "Kattajaq" was originally created as a game to provide entertainment in Arctic temperatures: two women stand facing each other, holding each other and swaying to the beat of their breathing. Using their voices, they produce interlocking sounds that together create a rhythm - call and response. Who can go the longest without breathing, without losing their timing, coughing or laughing? PIQSIQ begin each of their songs in this special way, but continue the game endlessly with electronic loops.
