(In)discrets
(In)discrets is a concert in the midst of the living, a comprehensive
and immersive reverie about the fragility and vulnerability of the
earth's soil.
Zug-based composer Cyrill Lim and Geneva-based composer
Noémie Favennec-Brun (CH) collaborate with textile artist Louise Hochet
(FR) to create a concert installation that combines musical, sonic,
visual and textile creations to question our connection to the earth and
our collective desire for reparation and revitalisation.
In just three generations, the professions of farmer, rancher and forester have continued to change.
In just three generations, we have collectively lost our relationship with the earth, farming and horticulture, whereas our ancestors devoted much of their time to them.
In just three generations, the professions of farmer, rancher and forester have continued to change.
In just three generations, we have collectively lost our relationship with the earth, farming and horticulture, whereas our ancestors devoted much of their time to them.
In modern agriculture, our soils are
impoverished and damaged by the combination of mechanisation and
chemicals: overworked areas suffer and gradually turn into deserts.
Formerly fertile soils become clouds of dust.
This project
aims to open up a dialogue between generations in order to question our
heritage together. To create a space to re-establish relationships
between generations and their actions, to invest the sensitive, the
intimate, the oral tradition.
It aims to create links between
music, textiles, knowledge of the living and the passage of time, the
power of gestures and their transmission across generations.
