The group/troupe Von Magnet distinguishes itself by a most artistical strange past/path. At first extremely active on the London club scene (1985 / 1989), then courted by the british avant-garde, they ended up attracting the attention of the post-industrial circuit in northern Europe where they tour regulary. Invited twice by the TransMusicales of Rennes, Holland´s Tegen Tonen, main feature act in city festivals (Brussels, Den Haag, Lille, Coimbra, Barcelona ...), occasionnally trouble makers during party club nights, site-specific installationists transforming disused churches, slaughterhouses, hospitals, car or boat factories, ethnic techno dissidents in rock venues or even mutant guests at various performances and happenings (Art galleries, T.V shows, street festivals, openings, opera ballets, etc), Von Magnet adapt to every situation.
From dramatical urban rituals and poignant futuristic flamenco interpretation to the most baffling scenographies and stagings, Von Magnet convey, with all the necessary rage, their spellbinding musical and electronically experimental shows. Based successively in Barcelona, Rennes, Amsterdam, Lille, Paris and Berlin, for each project gathering different creative teams and mixed peculiar tribes of performers, visual artists, dancers, musicians, designers or sculptors, Von Magnet is indeed one of the cybergypsy pionners of euro-culture.
