12€ – exhibition & performance
Since 2014 and the trio Hérétiques, Ayelen Parolin collaborates with pianist and composer Lea Petra. With the duo Wherever The Music Takes You, they explore once again their way of co-writing when both of them are on the set. That’s a first: in the four creations that brought them together before, Ayelen led the project from the outside while Lea was on stage.
Last year, as part of the Festival XS in Brussels, was therefore born a first version of their “stage meeting”. It is a work on the unpredictable, with a writing resolutely in the present of the performance, banging together restrain and joy, rage and pleasure, energy in the excess and a policy of escalation – more or less controlled… A duet that thumbs its nose at our time where security and predictive algorithms triumph.
For this second version of Wherever The Music Takes You, the duo decided to work again on the unpredictable but approached it in another way. It is no longer a question of speaking of, but of starting from the unpredictable: the challenge is no longer to refer to it as a possible grid of reading or as a writing intention, but as the objective to follow – for each, separately – in the choice of the ways of working and writing… Come
what may?
