Requiem

Requiem is a contemporary rite of farewell for life on this planet. In this poetic performance, a large-scale kinetic installation and an original musical score come together to pose the question: what rituals do we need to face the times we live in?

Requiem, by the team behind Arch (Oerol 2024), explores what we choose to build when we come together. In a world that is strange yet familiar, a group of people gathers to create something monumental. Through an interplay of voice and breath, and the heavy labour of human bodies, a tangle of metal transforms into a gigantic ribcage rising from the earth. Suddenly, the structure comes to life in an extraordinary, almost unsettling way. It is a striking metaphor for our own world: at once organic and mechanical, vulnerable and strong, lifeless and yet breathing.
