New Works
Becoming
Sól Ey
Becoming explores the crossroad of humans and machines, and how new forms of intimacy and hierarchy can emerge from that encounter. Created by Sól Ey in collaboration with Modelo62, this participatory performance-installation invites visitors to step into a sensory environment of interactive soundscape and breathing forms.
Deltas
Nahuel Cano
Deltas is an interdisciplinary music theatre performance by composer and performance maker Nahuel Cano in collaboration with musical ensemble Modelo62 and filmmaker Juan Fernández Gebauer. The work combines live music, film and storytelling to connect personal and ecological losses through the lens of grief while following the course of two rivers: the Paraná in Argentina and the Rhine, in the Netherlands.
Sound Explorers
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.
Cross-field Collaborations
We explore the performative potential in each project and deliver energetic performances in our interdisciplinary collaborations.
Modelo62 is a place of experimentation, working with artists and organisations from different fields to form close collaborations and develop new talent. We place a strong emphasis on balancing the commissioning of works from upcoming composers with those from more established figures. These commissions have formed a significant part of the ensemble’s growing repertoire of tailor-made premieres over our 20-year history.
