An immersive performance exploring water, pollution and belonging through soundscape

An immersive performance by Teodor Doré exploring water, pollution and belonging through a disrupted, evolving soundscape.

Set within Roca Gallery — a striking space conceived by Zaha Hadid — and presented in collaboration with Cluster, this immersive performance explores water, pollution, and belonging through a disrupted, evolving soundscape. The performance reflects on our fragile relationship with water through the altered voice of a prepared piano. Objects placed within the instrument - fragments evoking debris and pollution - transform its natural resonance into a disrupted, unfamiliar soundscape.

As water is both a shared resource and a space of belonging, the work explores what happens when this connection is broken. The piano becomes a metaphor for an ecosystem under pressure: its harmony disturbed, its identity altered.

Presented by Renaissance-21, the performance invites audiences into an intimate listening environment and asks a quiet but urgent question: how do we belong to nature, when we are also the ones reshaping it?
