The audience is seated throughout the space, in a ‘garden’ of paper sculptures in various shades of white, blue, grey and black. Six performers build, work and play, creating sounds reminiscent of the rustle of leaves, the wash of waves and even whale song. Ranging from close and intimate to ominously grand, the music seems to bring time to a standstill.
#17 is a further development on #16, the short music film Van Tol and director Jiska Rickels made in 2022. Before that, Van Tol and multimedia artist Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti developed their unique paper instrument sculptures that now once again play a starring role. What is new is that the ensemble also uses different types of percussion and amplification: two percussionists play on wood, metal and stone, and paper sounds are sampled and transformed with a modular synthesiser.
‘Walk, look, listen’ is the motto.
