Current Projects
Sound Explorers
by Luz Lassizuk & Modelo62
“Sound explorers” is an experiential music-theater piece that invites the audience to connect with surrounding reality in a sensorial way. With sound as the main element, but combining hearing with other sensorial possibilities, the piece will be presented as a playground where all the family members are invited to explore and discover interaction possibilities. Musicians from ensemble Modelo62 will guide the journey.
Prima Materia
by Myrtó Nizami
The performance is a collaboration with sound technician Siavash Jafari and visual artist Luca Tornato Serafini, who are both highly experienced in interdisciplinary performances. They use light, video and spatialisation to add relief to the themes of identity and mask-wearing. Myrto’s on-stage team consists of the versatile singer Kristia Michael and members of Ensemble Modelo62.
Primal
by Sól Ey
Music theatre piece for four Bassalons. Previously considered extinct, this majestic animal was hunted down for centuries because of its resonating properties. The bassalons are large herbivorous mammals with a long, elegant neck, twisted snout, and a stout, barrel-shaped torso. Yet, its most extraordinary feature was hidden within its chest – a vast, resonating cavity that acts as a natural amplifier for the deep, sonorous hums it used to communicate. As visitors or intruders, the audience’s actions directly affect the animals’ behaviour, creating an interactive and participatory experience.
Pay To Destroy
by Gagi Petrovic
“Pay To Destroy” by Gagi Petrovic is an activistic concert where the audience members’ decisions influence the music, creating
a personal sense of urgency and taking the listeners on a contemplative journey. During the performance, each listener can choose to make ‘virtual purchases’ to improve their own comfort but destroy aspects of the ongoing composition. Such actions irreversibly alter the predefined musical patterns, thereby audibly ‘polluting’ the music.
20 years of playing with what it means to make music
Modelo62 is a place of experimentation. We explore the performative potential in each project, and deliver energetic performances in our interdisciplinary collaborations
