Myriam Van Imschoot & Lucas van Haesbroeck
Nocturnes for a Society
Sleeping together under a blanket of sounds
Nocturnes for a Society creates an environment to spend a night in – an abode somewhere between performance, sleep, dream, and sonic play. With our voices, we weave a nocturnal carpet of sound and use it as a blanket to crawl under.
Sound artist Myriam Van Imschoot and scenographer Lucas van Haesbroeck build on the legacy of American composer and sound activist Pauline Oliveros, who sees sound as an ancient recipe for connecting people. As a participant, you play an indispensable role: interacting with each other, with objects and with the space, the audience forms the score. The soundscape we collectively create becomes the music we fall asleep to.
