SYNTROPIC // BUDAPEST ART QUARTER // FEBRUARY 2025
SYNTROPIC is a hour-long experimental theater piece that incorporates live music, improvisation, and explores the concept of syntropy, which, as the complementary opposite of entropy, proposes that living systems evolve toward complexity and harmony rather than chaos, positing that life is guided by attractors from the future.

Camera: Benedek Bognár, Zsuzsi Simon. Photos: Kovács István, Krystyna Bilak. Organizer, Location: Art Quarter Budapest, in Budapest, 20 February 2025.
International performance, visual and sound artist Josef Ka blends richly varied influences – everything from Butoh dance to cinematic theory – with her decades of nomadic world travel to create bold, highly personal site-specific art.
Josef Ka’s themes range from investigating the place of the human body in contemporary reality to exploring the inner body as a representative system of our human and post human kind.
Her artistic practice often actively invites the audience inside a sort of private reverie, making it is a deeply participatory one; she actively engages with both her audiences and with a wide diversity of other experimental artists.
In addition to her own work, Josef Ka curates a regular series of events and exhibitions at her Helsinki underground space – Sauna Gallery – and teaches classes on the theory and practice of performance art. She is also the inventor of the WORST THEATRE and her yogic training system, KA-YOGA.
