During her residency with Ode aan de gemeenschap, Moore has t urned her attention to the semi-enclosed garden of the Van der Pek housing block.

This preliminary research will lead to Moore’s next proje ct, The Underground: An Unseen Opera, which will be presented at the Oranjewoud Festival, a contemporary music festival in Friesland, in Ma y 2027.
