SHADOWS CHOIR, ACT I

In the performance “SHADOWS CHOIR”, eight non-gendered performers guide the audience through a vocal ritual.

In the dark for 60 minutes, voices breathe, slow, continuous, circling. Polyphonies emerge and dissolve into whispers, murmurs, spoken words, and melodies sung in medieval dialects. Shadows take shape: a weight on the back, a companion at your side, a mirror, a void, a multiplying presence. Lights barely touch the space. Ropes guide the audience.

Floating fabrics, and drifting forms move with a large-scale video, scattering silhouettes across the walls and bodies. Your shadow joins the others. It doubles. It lingers. This choir calls for a reconnection of bodies and voices in a world shaped by fragmentation.
