#51 Chorus in Flight

Metro54 and Buro Stedelijk are proud to present Julianknxx' one-night immersive performance, developed in collaboration with The Memoria Collective choir from Amsterdam and Rotterdam conducted by Elique Curiel.

Chorus in Flight explores the rich tapestry of diasporic mourning traditions, with an emphasis on themes of community, memory work, laughter, loss, and joy. In this performance, grief encompasses a lifeworld beyond our own, momentarily offering a space to engage with voices, feelings, memories, and stories. How do we mourn when the stories fade away? How do we hold space for grief as it transitions into laughter and joy?

The performance is part of Julianknxx’ ongoing research seeing how music and sound move us. Sound as a way to express peoples core conditions. Sound being a physical thing that affects us. It highlights how Julianknxx’ artistic endeavors are deeply intertwined with notions of refusal, memory work, and everyday histories, providing audiences with ways to engage with a multitude of diasporic biographies and stories. Drawing upon oral traditions and employing a distinctive aesthetic, Julianknxx’ performance serves as a catalyst for reflection and deep listening, inviting us to reconsider the omnipresence of grief, how we construct narratives of remembrance locally and globally, and how we hold space collectively.

Chorus in Flight is linked to the public program accompanying the exhibition Chorus in Rememory of Flight (on show until 25 May, 2024) at Metro54 in Amsterdam.
