LILITH constructs visual worlds through intuitive, collage-like processes involving performance, film, text, sound, and sculptural installations. The starting point for their work is often linked to inner human states and drives, exploring the structures of rituals and ceremonies we follow in order to function and be accepted as part of a group. The concept of ritual has long preoccupied the duo, as it permeates many of the agreed-upon rules we use to build meaning and belonging during dramatic life events—or simply to create shared understanding in everyday life—such as the rules in games, play, and all forms of staged presentation.

For CHART 2025, LILITH Artis Duo premiered the performance I AM EXTREME. In this piece, the audience witnesses a group of people in a procession carrying a vastly oversized arm, while performing ritual tributes to the physical and psychological variations and imperfections of our bodies. As part of these rites, a newly composed opera piece was performed.
