W139 x ADE: A Nightmare on Warmoes Street
In collaboration with ADE, with Mette Sterre, Diane Mahín and G
A Nightmare on Warmoes Street is a triple bill performance night with artists Mette Sterre, Diane Mahín and G at W139. Presented inside the immersive group exhibition Temper Tantrum Bonehouse, these three solo performances explore the beyond-human body and its limitless potential.
G-string Theory – Attempting to Rise by Mette Sterre gives value to the devalued, both aesthetically and conceptually. Emerging as a monstrous femme creature with rotating manicured fingers and accompanied by a talking cyborg dog, the artist makes room for exploring and exploding the power structures that silently—although violently—regulate our lives.
In GRUNT by Diane Mahín, a woman communicates solely through growling. The growler navigates various moods, telling what seems to be an urgent story or holding a seemingly intimate conversation. As she attempts to tell a joke, trauma-laden growls twist humor into a shadowy reflection.

Mette Sterre is a visual artist who investigates the limits and transformative potential of the body. Her work resists categorization, fusing performance, sculpture, body masks, and digital technology into immersive, otherworldly environments that explore the threshold between the organic and the artificial. By entering her work we are cast into the materialisation of her mind processes: a sensorial and embodied experience.
Diane Mahín is a performance maker and sociologist who creates visceral, performative worlds shaped by sound and image. Her work dissects the body as a social artifact: fleshy, noisy, and molded by social absurdities. A single sound from the body can open an entire world. Diane follows this sound, tears it apart, and reassembles it into theatrical codes drawn from the learned behaviors of an unbearable society. The strange becomes eerily familiar. In that disarming recognition, audiences encounter something disturbingly intimate: themselves, shaped by a brutal world.
