A voluntary power cut. Total darkness. The bodies of sound fill the space, delicately, in every nook and cranny. What are the reference points? How can we orientate our listening? Without the sight of the musicians in the performance space, the perception of music becomes global and constitutes a “sound world”. Everything is part of the experience, there are no more parasites or noises, there is an extension of hearing. Breaths are listened to, silences compose with notes and speech becomes embodied.

Based on a mixed repertoire - including contemporary music, popular music and improvisation - Anna D’Errico, Céline Hänni, Denis Schuler and Anna Spina experience place through hearing and develop an original form of concert.

The four performers play three different repertoires for a unique, sensitive experience.

NOIR is part of the Syncope project, a five-part musical program organized and produced by the Swiss Institute in Rome.
