Yui Yamamoto and Ruby Antonowicz-Behnan will deliver a moving performance entitled Requiem in Progress that reflects the profound grief they have felt due to the loss of close family.

Initiated by two artists processing the significant loss of loved ones, this project has evolved into a collaborative expression of grief and a reflection on contemporary society. It contemplates the ongoing tragedies that unfold, one after another, with this multimedia performance serving as a poignant memorial to events and lost lives. Experimental vinyls provide analogue textures, electronic synths, radio signals, animal calls, news reporters’ voices, and our own voices combine to create a layered chorus. These elements are looped, mixed, and distorted using sound software and a manual loop machine, resulting in a deeply textured auditory experience.
