They also taught private composition lessons, gave lectures on their work and lead presentation/discussions on Splendor Amsterdam.

Utter

21/03/2016 Anne La Berge

Anne La Berge, Isabelle Vigier and Marcel Wierckx have spent the months of February and March building the performance/installation version of a new work called Utter.

Utter tells a story about the complexities of the mother/child relationship from the perspective of language acquisition in a performance with sound and film. The set includes 6 iPads that run a newly developed app that interacts with the laptop that steers both audio and visual material.

You can follow the making of Utter and the performance tours here.

This Volsap Foundation project is partially funded by the Creative Industries Funds NL and the Performing Arts Fund NL and supported by Splendor Amsterdam.
