What does nature say? To find out, Myriam Van Imschoot visited a zoo, used a tuning fork to listen to a motorway, discovered birds that sound like chainsaws or can imitate the ringtones of mobile phones, and saw crocodiles in Australia (but couldn’t hear them…).
Drawing on a variety of field recordings, five performers – coming from the noise-underground scene to pop – replicate these various sounds, using only their voices. In front of audience they creat an acappella rendition of the planet’s soundscapes and what is too often simply the white-noise of the world.
What Nature Says is a radiophonic performance, a show in which our notions of humanity, nature and machines are called into question.
