CHORA

sound performance, 4 channel audio, text score for 7 performers
Oscillation 2019 - On Sound's Nature, La Fonderie, Brussels, 05.05.2019

The choreographed sound performance focuses on the choir as a polyphonic body, as a form of listening, speaking and moving together.
Surrounded by the remaining walls of the former halle de coulé at La Fonderie Molenbeek, the multi channel com-position juxtaposes and associates the possibilities and dynamics of choral actions with the notion of chora (ancient Greek for space). A term that originally meant the peripheral area outside the city proper, that also informed an understanding of space that oscillates "between the logic of exclusion and that of participation." (Derrida, On the Name).

Performers: Lukas De Clerck, Sebastian Dingens, Antonio Sforna, Laura ten Zeldam, Willem Vermeersch and  Giulia Vismara

With sound excerpts from "Ruins & Beginnings" by  Steve Bates, Marc-Alexandre Reinhardt and Franziska Windisch.
