SONOTOPER (2022/2023) is an interactive choreographic sound performance by choreographer Sara Lindström Lindhe and sound artist Jan Carleklev. The work experiments with sounding and listening as both an audible, physical, emotional and political activity.

 

In the installation, the audience encounters "Sono", a virtual character who guides them into a peculiar soundscape, that they simultaneously give form to. 

By placing itself between the audience, the image and the sound, Sono creates an interstitial space that plays with and challenges our relationship to technology and surveillance. Between what is present and what is absent.

SONOTOPER is an ongoing exploration on listening and sounding. A curious search for what it is that defines the "human" in us and the possibilities and limitations of our senses.

 

SONOTOPER will be presented at Weld in Stockholm 12-14 may 2023
