Sounds Like Catastrophes by Hanna Sybille Müller & Eva Meyer Keller
free
available now
Sounds like Catastrophes is part of a series of works that intuitively research catastrophes. It examines the quietness and loudness of the gently increasing or sudden sounds we associate with catastrophes. As part of an initial workshop, children develop an orchestra of everyday materials and objects as sounding boards and instruments. Using these, they compose thunderous storms, blazing fires and rumbling earthquakes which are then performed on stage as the children take turns conducting, recording the sound effects in front of the audience. Combined with spoken texts, fragments of the live recordings are played back into the performance space, conjuring associations, memories and future scenarios into a many-voiced sound collage.

Pilgrim is a physical journey through the mystical sound scores created by Electronic Musician James Holden. It is a reminder of the ancient and enduring kinship between Dance and Music and the deeply transformative qualities of both. The work is haunted by remnants of folk and pagan sensibilities shifting between hypnotic and euphoric states. Lucy’s physical vocabulary is irreverent and eclectic; she guides us through minimal sophistication towards Acid House and arduous repetition, resulting in a variety of perceptual and physical shifts. Coaxed along by Holden’s beguiling and epic rhythms she is constantly questioning and reminding us of why we Dance?
Noises Off by Michael Frayn, directed by Ektoras Lygizos

Welcome backstage: to the place where every attempt at rationality backfires. Where dark instincts emerge from the shadows and roles—like zombies—devour the actors. A play within a play, a farce within a farce, cock-ups piled on cock-ups. Michael Frayn's classic British farce directed by Ektoras Lygizos as a hymn to all the myriad things that can go wrong. The actors forget their lines, the director rages, the costumes fall apart, and everyone and everything’s always in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Europium [The end of the world will be better this year] by RootlessRoot

Linda Kapetanea and Jozef Fruček (RootlessRoot) build a raft for Europe’s uncertain future and talks about their production: “when we started preparing this performance, we were very interested in the history and mythology relating to the name of Europe. […] One of our favorites is wood. So we started working on a raft. The "Raft of the Medusa" seemed to us to be the clearest story about Europe so far. The "Raft of the Medusa" is a true story that happened in the aftermath of the shipwreck of the French naval frigate ‘Méduse’”.
Thanks again and see you soon!
