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.

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 | REWIRE

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.
