Voice as Landscape is proud to present its new spring gathering: horseshoe to heart / togethers in motion. A program driven by dialogue and correspondence. Dialogue as in: a generative undoing of self through incorporation of another — an other — un-othered through relation. Like the smelting of metals. These dialogues have been made material, catalysed in correspondence. Correspondence as the catalyst, irreversibly humane.
We have invited twelve artists to generate offerings born from long held correspondence, translated in space for new audiences, or newly formed correspondences joining distinct practices and their attendant perspectives. A program composed of two days, one in our theatre, and one traversing the gardened publics surrounding and including If I Can’t Dance, our host for the second day.

Day 1: Friday May 23, 20:00-22:00, doors open at 19:30, at Perdu
On Friday we gather in the theater to bask in the joinery of practices, whose correspondence was instantiated by parallel desires. These practices, and their divergent approaches to sonority and voicing, unique relationships to song and stage, have been dancing together through the most sincere of social ties, the weight of which collapses and reshapes propositions.
Our guests at Perdu:
- Enrico Dau Yang Wey
- Geo Wyex
- Derica Shields
- Raoni/Muzho Saleh
Regular tickets for Friday are €12,50; if you’re a student, they‘re €10. On Friday only, there is a livestream option for €6. You can also purchase a combi-ticket for both days for €20, or €15 if you’re a student.

Day 2: Saturday May 24, 17:00-23:00, at If I Can‘t Dance
On Saturday, we convene in the green surround containing our host If I Can’t Dance, for a continuation of the program that works with practices embedded in the collapse of what is held as a self. A program whose extended temporality contorts the bounds of art consumption. It suggests a commitment to sharing space and time that approaches a broad together. The program will begin at 17.00 and run until aprox 22.00 with a succession of offerings that invite us to eat together, socialize rest, delve into inter-species communication, the pass of love over time and relationships with ancestry.
We eat together, we rest together, we witness and are affected together.
Our guests at If I Can’t Dance:
- Kaixin Chen & Sankrit Kulmanochawong
- Aitana Cordero
- María Jerez & Élan D ́Orphium
- Kike García & Jesús Bravo
- Phantom Wizard
Regular tickets for Saturday are €12,50; if you’re a student, they‘re €10. There is no livestream. You can also purchase a combi-ticket for both days for €20, or €15 if you’re a student.

Voice as Landscape is a performance platform concerned with the near boundless potential of the voice and voicings. Born from a love of language that called for its undoing – or renewal – in the materiality of sound, and a desire to find the juncture between the uttered and the inhabited, Voice as Landscape is entering its second year with an emboldened sense of community and a sober grounding in the political reality in which we labor to make art. The warped and increasingly aggressive logics of empire would have us force the finality of categorization. Our small work here against this trend is a platforming of works built in the fluid forever of togethers in motion. Voice as Landscape is an initiative of Alec Mateo and Lorenzo García-Andrade.
