A collective research project created together with four other students from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and the University of Amsterdam as a part of the ART and RESEARCH Programme.
An Opera of Interwoven Voices seeks to bring forward other ways of being and performing with the entities around us. Through the framework of an opera, a stage is created to explore these entanglements and imagine new narratives in which the human is repositioned among the hierarchy of species. The stage provides a place where the voices of all kinds of beings and abstract life together can form a polyphony. Can we see life as a mimesis of drama? Could the scientific tools of dramaturgy help us better understand co-existence and assembly?
