Oto Projects
Anne Gillis & XT
CONCERT | COMMISSION | TOUR
Anne Gillis (France), Seymour Wright (UK) and Paul Abbott (UK) develop three new site-specific works, following the collaboration they started, with Diaphonique’s support, in 2021. Three new performances of new music will be developed through a number of days residency and public presentation, in 3 locations: Paris (Les Instants Chavirés), Brussels (Atelier Claus), London (Café Oto). The three interdisciplinary artists operate at the boundaries of sound-making/music, plastic arts, performance and learning. They explore the limits and relationships between body, object, prosthesis and memory, patterns and the material world.
“ We imagine a room – OTO – which we move around (with sounds) in which we are planting bulbs, sprouts/ roots, seeds, graftings/clippings (but these plants are sounds and movements), which grow and evolve organically, but can repeat mechanically. Many births! ”
