BPA// Raum is pleased to present Oiseau, a performance and accompanying exhibition and workshop, initiated by BPA// alumn Aliénor Dauchez.
What will there be left to hear in a time when birds have disappeared? In a not-so-distant future, the audience enters a polyphonic web of voices, woven from forgotten memories of what was once heard and what we once thought we heard. The three performers Jessica Gadani, Josefine Mühle and Antoine Sarrazin embody hybrid bird creatures that have left behind the boundary between human, machine and animal. From bird songs, sounds and their imitation loops, a musical ornithology composed by Michael Rauter emerges, that reaches far beyond our species-specific perception. A temporary territory appears, inhabited by singing. After the performance, you are invited to listen to the sound archives that have nourished the essence of our history.

La Cage was founded in 2015 in Berlin and Paris. The company combines musical and sculptural forms in performative formats. The team, under the artistic direction of Aliénor Dauchez, includes visual artists, musicians, performers, dramaturges, and technicians. In their pieces such as "Démesure," "Votre Faust," "Sous Vide," or "L’Ailleurs de l’autre," and "Un Renversement - von Don Giovanni," they seek an expanded understanding of music theater in which sound, choreography, and space come together on equal terms. Immersive and eclectic, their practice is a constant search for new narratives. Their productions have been presented at Radialsystem, Ballhaus Ost, and Berghain in Berlin, as well as at Theater Basel, Centre Pompidou, and Cité de la Musique in Paris, Opéra de Rouen, Eclat Festival Neue Musik, or Donaueschinger Musiktage.
Aliénor Dauchez is a visual artist and theater director. She studied visual arts at the UDK in Berlin with Gregor Schneider and Christiane Möbus, and at the Beaux-Arts in Paris with Giuseppe Penone. She was assistant to Anna Viebrock, Sasha Waltz and Heiner Goebbels. Aliénor Dauchez develops performances, sculptures, and music theater forms in whose she explores the relations and limits of bodies in space. Her work as a visual artist has been presented at Haus am Lützowplatz in Berlin, Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart, at the Biennale d’art contemporain in Moscow or at Kunstverein Hildesheim and Neuer Kunstverein Gießen.
