HM is a dj set. HM asks each inhabitant of an apartment block to choose a song that will compose the dj set. The audience is invited to witness the event, that will take place in a shared space within the premises of the apartment block. The format of the dj set works as a means to bring the audience closer to a “private” context, which might normally not be accessible to the outside viewer, and create unexpected connections. The week before the presentation to the audience, Strasse will individually meet the inhabitants in their own apartments, collectively spending an hour together.
I used to listen to a singer when I was young,
an algerian singer that sang about the love of the young ones.
I like him a lot because when I listen to him
in there there’s always something that I have done,
something that happens in that moment.

BIOGRAPHY
Strasse is a group of Italian artists founded in Milan, Italy, in 2009.
Strasse works within the frames of performance and cinema, investigating relationships between movement and urban landscape, using film language as a filter to understand and weight reality. Strasse aims of bringing performance into channels and spaces of the urban life, gaining backgrounds, signs, temperatures, without subverting their meanings but stealing them form the unflappable daily flowing and carrying them, for a moment, elsewhere.
Starting from Francesca De Isabella and Sara Leghissa, having run in 2009 the Casa Strasse space in Milan, hosting theatre and theatre-dance workshops and productions, since 2010 the group has been without headquarters and devotes itself to actions in public spaces.
Strasse’s artistic research is mainly based on the practice of site-specific creation. It gives the audience the possibility to change their point of view, allowing them to see what already exists, in order to create new frames surrounding scenes and things.
In the last years the group produced Drive_in (2012), Solo (2014) and a number of projects as Exil and T.Rex, which use the format of a party to generate connections, to knock down categories and remove the distinction between different audiences and between artists and audience.
