Concert
Les oiseaux de Nias (Webdiffusion)
Réverbères et Les oiseaux de Nias
Past event
This concert is designed for immersive multichannel support, soloists and call choir in an interactive environmental performance with lighting, black lights and scenography.
It is presented as a behavioral and comparative sound study of the functioning of birds in society and the consequences of the dehumanization of man dedicated to his self-destruction, a universal disorder. Through her work, Roxanne Turcotte evokes the decrease in biodiversity from here to Nias Island and bears witness to human incredulity and climate-sceptic governments. The gradual extinction of animal species caused by unlimited industrial power and ideological battles, makes small groups of dissident individuals emerge from the populations in revolt. This is a call for freedom and the safeguarding of our living space.
Through an acoustic-electronic duality, the composer invites us to listen to the rites of nature, at the bend of a forest, where birds hide somewhere to protect themselves and to hear the call to dissidence, facing the cry of distress.
