Searching for the Underground

Searching for the Underground is a multidisciplinary installat ion by composer Kate Moore at De Poorthuisjes in Amsterdam. Developed duri ng her residency with Ode aan de gemeenschap, the work explores t he sounds of the garden at the Van der Pek housing block and the hidden wo rld beneath it.

During her residency with Ode aan de gemeenschap , Moore has turned her attention to the semi-enclosed garden of the V an der Pek housing block. Using audio equipment, she explores the hidden w orld beneath the surface of this urban oasis. Through this artistic resear ch, Moore becomes part of the everyday life of the Van der Pek block by li stening to the sounds that converge in the garden from the surrounding apa rtments. As the residents themselves do not have access to the garden, she occupies a unique position since she can experience a form of collectivit y that remains hidden from others. This preliminary research will lead to Moore’s next project, The Underground: An Unseen Opera, which wil l be presented at the Oranjewoud Festival, a contemporary music festival i n Friesland, in May 2027.
