With Agustín Genoud
»Liederbuch der Apokalypse« (songbook of the apocalypse) is an A/V premiere by Agustín Genoud (music & sound fellow 2024-25) blending choral performance, live electronics, and video art into apocalyptic themes from a post-human perspective. Envisioning a cosmic revelation where an otherworldly entity delivers a vision of the world’s end, the performers embody a range of voices through extended vocal techniques and experimental vocal processing—from human to animal to machine. Regrouping an exceptional cast of experimental vocalists Audrey Chen, Anna Clementi, Alessandra Eramo, Nina Guo, Christian Kesten, Elisabetta Lanfredini, Ligia Liberatori, and Ute Wassermann, the work is structured as a songbook (»Liederbuch«) that invites reflection on the doomed cosmos of hyper-technical knowledge even as it calls for new ways of coexisting as we witness the end of the »white dazzle night« of Enlightenment. The piece was developed during Agustín Genoud’s DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program residency in 2024 and will be premiered at CTM Festival 2025.
