  Heroines of Sound Festival: Tag 3 2

On the third day of the festival, electronic sounds merge with intense physical and vocal presence. In a live performance for synthesiser and voice, Marie Delprat transforms intimate emotions into powerful moments of resistance, inspired by stylistic elements from Barock music.

Following this, Heroines of Sound honours the innovative work of Berlin composer Iris ter Schiphorst with full-length portrait concert. ensemble mosaik and vocal performer Anna Clementi interpret a variety of her works, dedicated to various socio-political topics. A feminist programme consistently unfolds, in which various temporal and media layers intertwine.

The day closes with a new multimedia film opera “Em-Body-Ment” by composer Leah Muir.  Emerging from years of collaboration with soprano Irene Kurka, the musical drama illuminates tenderness and bodily transcendence, weaving traces of past and present cultures into an extraordinary total experience.
