KATRINE FABER – Songs From Our Body

TIME & PLACE fri 16th, sat 17th & sun 18th May, Refshaleøen
WHAT Performance/interactive walk

Resonance With The Surroundings
Songs From Our Bodies explores the resonance between humans and our living surroundings. The work celebrates the living world and examines the voices that reside in our personal bodies, as well as the voices that inhabit the bodies of landscapes and places. We embark on a singing, sensing, listening, playful journey through all kinds of landscapes – cities, villages, industrial areas, agricultural lands, forests, and wild growths.

The performance walk consists of a series of performative installations that immerse us in a world that is no longer silent and barren, but where places are living bodies with songs, emotions, and moods. Katrine interprets and conveys the life of places and landscapes through vocal compositions, inviting us to harmonize. The work investigates our love for and connection with the places we live in, the grief over what we are losing, and the ability to return space to the more-than-living in our shared world.

Which voices is it important for us to listen to? Which places and lives need to be heard? What future living conditions are we creating for ourselves and our living surroundings? Songs From Our Bodies is an ongoing exploration of resonance as an artistic, social, relational, existential, and ecological tool. An interactive, nomadic vocal work that seeks to create new communities and practical tools for our shared future.
