Searching for the Underground< /h3>

Searching for the Underground is a multidisciplinary insta llation by composer Kate Moore at De Poorthuisjes in Amsterdam. Developed during her residency with Ode aan de gemeenschap, the work explor es the sounds of the garden at the Van der Pek housing block and the hidde n world beneath it.

During her residency with Ode aan de gemeens chap, Moore has turned her attention to the semi-enclosed garden of t he Van der Pek housing block. Using audio equipment, she explores the hidd en world beneath the surface of this urban oasis. Through this artistic re search, Moore becomes part of the everyday life of the Van der Pek block b y listening to the sounds that converge in the garden from the surrounding apartments. As the residents themselves do not have access to the garden, she occupies a unique position since she can experience a form of collect ivity that remains hidden from others. This preliminary research will lead to Moore’s next project, The Underground: An Unseen Opera, which will be presented at the Oranjewoud Festival, a contemporary music festiv al in Friesland, in May 2027.
