Lullaby for Floods

The Lullaby for Floods installation will be the creation of a sonic environment and an in-between space connecting us to the Earthly turbulences in the new climate regime : it exchanges our inner floods with external droughts, and we escape our inner droughts to swallow into external floods. The dance of the water particles run as we are spectators of present ruins/future ghosts and composers of present ghosts/future ruins.
Join us for the premiere night: a first viewing, followed by a Q&A with the team!
Lullaby for Floods is a live sonic composition and a performative installation. The lullaby embeds data from disruptive floods happened between 2024 and 2025, live weather data (the cloud scanning from weather satellite data) at the moment of the live performance, and field recordings of flooded places before and after the flood.
Bodies act like turbulences inside the nebulization. Humans are invited to move into the space during the composition, since rain falls regardless. The work aims to be a lullaby co-composition between humans and water, between the turbulences and flows characterizing our time, where after the floods, crickets and pollinators come back .
