Performance - Sound choreography
Journal d'un usager de l'espace 2021 - Benjamin Vandewalle

A project by Benjamin Vandewalle, HYOID voices, Maija Hynninen and Centre Henri Pousseur

In Journal d'un usager de l'espace, you travel through the building in a different way. Visible and invisible singers take you from one space to another, immersing you in an ever-changing sound bath.

This performance is based on the book Espèces d'espaces, in which Georges Perec describes the most banal findings about the space around us, sometimes in a very factual way, sometimes poetically or philosophically. Together with the HYOID voices and composer Maija Hynninen, choreographer Benjamin Vandewalle explores space and architecture in a similar way. Journal d'un usager de l'espace is an immersion in the ordinary beauty of space, sound, architecture and movement.
