Undersang is a dreaming speculation encompassing ownership and belonging to “nature” - our common landscape, and the cultural attachment we give to these images.
Undersang is a hybrid of choreography, choir, sculptures and a trip to the forest. A sculptural choir based on floating sonic structures, dissonance and polyphony, where voices create a soundscape and physical space through vibrations, distance and unity. In a gathering of performing artists and local singers we will create a sensual and attentive world of “black togetherness”. A place where binary divisions, racialized violence has never existed - a place where glamorous beings sing and vibrate in the night.
