The Forest as Echo invites you to an exciting program featuring performances and workshops.

• Performance

• 7 – 7.45 pm
  Soya Arakawa
  Erwärmte Tonkörper
  Jan-Wellem-Brunnen

  For the site-specific performance Erwärmte Tonkörper, Soya Arakawa has constructed an instrument that reacts to water temperature. The performance explores how sensory perception and physical sensation merge. At its heart lies temperature as an immediate experience: cold, for instance, is not merely perceived, but shapes the bodies of both the performer and the audience alike. The performance venue thus becomes an active element that helps to shape the atmosphere, perception and content of the work.

  8 – 8.30 pm
  Hanne Lippard
  Stream
  Jan-Wellem-Brunnen

  In her performance Stream, Hanne Lippard explores the constant and at times exhausting flow of language that courses through both the exterior and the interior of our bodies and minds. She examines how these aspects intersect and influence one another, both in terms of verbal dialogue and interactions.

  Mélia Roger
  Intangible Otherness
  Jan-Wellem-Brunnen

  With her site-specific performance Intangible Otherness, Mélia Roger invites the audience to join her in a guided meditation. With microphones attached to her hands, she explores the relationship between the body and its surroundings. Through headphones, she invites the audience to participate in the exploration of textures and challenges their audiovisual perception. She feels, touches and strokes different surfaces, listening intently to the sounds produced by her touch.

  8 – 8.30 pm
  Alessandra Eramo
  Watertongue
  Schöne Aussicht

  In her site-specific performance Watertongue, Alessandra Eramo explores the deep connection between the voice and the environment, entering into a dialogue with the ‘ecological memory’ of an ever-changing landscape. Through mimetic singing, the sounds of water, ritual gestures and narrative elements, the voice merges with its surroundings. The performance opens up a space of perception in which breath, sounds, fragmentary melodies, invented languages and real and imaginary water sounds merge into one another.

  9 – 9.45 pm
  Miki Yui
  Inner Forest
  Schöne Aussicht
  With Inner Forest, Miki Yui invites us to an audio session in the forest. The session begins with simple exercises designed to open our senses to our surroundings. Accompanied by abstract sounds that Miki Yui creates in harmony with the forest, we listen to the various layers of sound and to the space that our acoustic perception creates in our imagination. At the edge of the forest, we discover the membrane that resonates between our inner and outer soundscapes.

  Oliver Gather
  Tempus Fugit
  Weyhe Park

  The sound piece Tempus Fugit is a compilation of radio traffic reports in which the time lost was stated instead of the length of the traffic jam in kilometres. Oliver Gather has spent several months collecting data on ‘lost’ time from traffic reports, ranging from a time loss of around ten minutes up to several hours. He invites us to listen together to the idiosyncratic rhythm of time flowing by.

  7.30 – 8 pm
  Tini Aliman
  A Solstice Score: Approaching Dusk Chorus at 51.2452° N, 6.8313° E
  Schöne Aussicht

  Tini Aliman’s improvised arrangement uses the forest as an active field of signals, resonances and temporal transitions, through which nature becomes an active participant in the composition. In the performance, the acoustics of the undergrowth, the canopy and the relationship with the forest’s internal structures come to the fore. The resulting composition emerges from the interplay between the artist, the instrumentation, the non-human signals of the forest and the temporal uniqueness of summer solstice.
