Performance: Noise Diva & orah (Live AV) | 21:30 – 22:20
FIBER Festival opens the evening of ADE Club Lab with an audiovisual performance in the Melkweg Cinema. No other than Noise Diva & orah will present When I Lost My Words, I Found My Voice (Live AV). “When I lost my words, I found my voice” is a live audio-visual collaboration between visual artist, moving image maker, and graphic designer Deborah Mora (orah)- (Italy, Netherlands) and multidisciplinary artist and researcher Yara Said also known under her sound producer pseudo Noise Diva (Syria, Netherlands).
For this new live AV work, the artists explore the soft tunnel, the powerful organ of the larynx. It is an air passage for breathing, it is the home of our vocal cords, the voice box, our tool for speaking and our instrument for singing and humming. But it is also the gate where many of our emotions are trapped. Reminiscing the Mediterranean biome and cultures, touching both artist’s homelands, we evoke the figure of the singing Siren, the woman poet, the growing daughter that strives to express her voice and find the place that nurtures her.
This performance was commissioned by Klankvorm.
About the artists
Noise Diva (Yara Said) is an Amsterdam-based multidisciplinary artist whose work delves into the profound connections between sound, emotions, and visual aesthetics. With a keen focus on daily encounters, identity politics, and the representation of experiences, Yara’s artistic practice intertwines feminist theories with the exploration of sonic flows.
orah (Deborah Mora) collects, creates and manipulates images as a way to enact non-verbal storytelling. As an audiovisual artist, designer and narrator, she approaches visual materialities to carve the openings for experiences. Her practice is weaved in multidisciplinary collaborations and explorations with sound and movement artists, visual experimentations that expand and diversify through the music, the rhythms, the space, the movement and the body.
