Chants d’oiseaux

Exploring the musical lives of birds, this programme juxtaposes three distinct compositional approaches. Jonathan Harvey’s work slows and ornaments natural song, inviting attentive listening; Carola Bauckholt isolates and treats avian cries as raw material; Robin Meier Wiratunga stages a sound dialogue between pigeons in flight and instrumentalists. The evening balances close listening and playful sonic gestures, offering an intimate, often uncanny encounter with avian timbres and transformed field recordings.

Choreographed by Valeska Romero Curiqueo, Pewma (Mapudungun for “dream”) weaves dance, performance, live sound and poetry to trace transmissions between bodies. The piece confronts peripheral, wounded and violently marked identities through ritualized gestures and sensual collisions, invoking Venus as a figure of omen, destruction and rebirth. Live violin, synthesizers and vocals shape a tense, luminous soundscape as bodies dissolve and reconstitute, staging desire, friction and collective memory.

The staging, created with scenographer Gilbert Maire and painter André Kasper, uses Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound to evoke both the comedy and the terrifying humanity of Chekhov.
