Alyson Sillon is more things than she’s not. A visual artist, performer, graphic designer and DJ, Sillon’s activities in all disciplines inform each other, and contribute towards a personal practice that is deeply inspired by the mythological dimensions of counter-cultural movements. In her project Before/After, which was featured at Het Hem and Club RAUM before making its way to Freaky Dancing, Sillon delves into the world of techno, exploring its Black and queer origins through immersive installations that blend performances with symbolic languages and scent design. The work highlights transitional moments and shifting energies within a rave night, proving how nightlife is not only entertainment, but a profound, respectful and cathartic journey.

Before/After will function as the opening ceremony of Freaky Dancing’s fifth installment. inviting the audiences to engage with the rich, complex histories and cultural narratives that shape our understanding of music, identity, and community.
