Pipistrelles, Serotines, and Bachelor Fine Arts students gather at Cinéma Bellevaux for an evening of performances, screenings, and sounds emerging from the invisible.
In recent spring weeks, first year Bachelor Fine Arts students and cryptic bats, be they bicolored vesper bats, serotines, pipistrelles, or noctules (though undeniably communicating across two main frequency ranges: some between 40,000–50,000 Hz and others between 50,000–60,000 Hz), have been fabulously trying to establish audible contact, to hear one another, to understand each other, without ever attempting to possess.
After several missed encounters, this hybrid collective invites all species to an open evening centered around the political and metaphorical question that has haunted them. Hibernation and/or escape, apathy and/or cigarette smoke, lack of interest and/or lack of water: multiple hypotheses will be raised, presented through performances, concerts, and screenings.
We hope to see you and perhaps hear, together, a response emerging from torpor, or in response to it.
