Songs From a Vacant Apartment’ offers an intimate audio lounge bringing together small sound, poetic, choreographic and hybrid forms of international artists, open to all audiences.
Remembering the description of the surrealist André Breton, “a sound apartment whose parquet floor is an immense pedal and where the thunderbolts upset from time to time the silverware”, the guest creators invest, in a friendly atmosphere, the first floor of a former printing plan converted into artists’ studios and apartments, with site specific performances, in proximity with visitors.

“Tree Stories”
An excerpt from this multidisciplinary performance (dance, poetry, sound) “in progress” (initiated during a European Pépinières residency by Kotrina Žilinskaitė, Hasan Alp Çelikel and Paradise Now in a natural Lithuanian environment in the Summer 2022) inspired by timeless poetry and the mystical power of raw nature embodied by the tree.
‘Tree Stories’ anchors itself in this strong experience through the movement of performers and sound, evoking different times and signs of nature and the ever-changing, adapting world of these life-creating trees.

Tales from an emptied bedroom
A dreamlike and intimate narrative constructed from documents found in a bedroom previously occupied by a kleptomaniac tenant (also suffering from Dyogen syndrome) who was judicially evicted. This text, created for the occasion, is accompanied by an ambient soundtrack.
The public is invited to listen to it while lying on large cushions, in the darkness of the room.
