The inaugural »Jump Cut« episode featured Dana Gingras (Montreal), Sonya Stefan (Montreal) and Tot Onyx (Berlin), who first collaborated in 2018 on a live performance, titled »anOther.« For episode 1 of »Jump Cut,« the trio of artists, restless and confined, created an eerie offering. Set in a lost space that leads nowhere, it is filled with disembodied and embodied presences that roam, taunt and multiply each other across planes.

The work was shown as part of CTM 2021 Festival's trans/local performance series of commissioned works that united Berlin-based artists with creators in other parts of the world to explore remote collaborative work and performance. It was presented again within CTM Festival 2022.
