Ancient tales of exile and love re-emerge to shadow today&#8217;s lives and losses.<\/p>\n<p>Internationally renowned performer Caroline Bergvall teams up with experimental Norwegian percussionist Ingar Zach and Swiss visual artist Thomas K\u00f6ppel and together they invent a language of extremes: from the ancient pool of English and Nordic poetry to the lyrics of pop songs and damning human rights reports into contemporary sea migrants&#8217; disaster. The 3D treatment of the texts by K\u00f6ppel transforms the narrative into a dense, abstract canvas of drifting language mass, enhancing the hypnotic quality of the work. Inspired by the anonymous Anglo-Saxon poem &#8216;The Seafarer&#8217;, <em>Drift <\/em>acts as a reminder of the endless changes undergone by the English language in its many histories.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Creative team<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Voice, texts, concept: Caroline Bergvall<\/p>\n<p>Live &amp; treated percussion: Ingar Zach<\/p>\n<p>Visual treatment &amp; programming: Thomas K\u00f6ppel<\/p>\n<p>Dramaturgy: Mich\u00e8le Pralong<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Produced with Sound &amp; Music.
