Myriam Van Imschoot & HYOID: newpolyphonies

For newpolyphonies, Myriam Van Imschoot was inspired by insects, climate marches and the recent manifestations against cutbacks in the arts and civil society. Her leitmotif is not the loud chanting of the crowd, but the experience that each individual - like a link in a chain - can set a vortex of sounds in motion.

Polyphony is the art of individual voices interwoven into a great harmonic coherence. In newpolyphonies, polyphony is both the trigger and the question. How can we understand this musical legacy today? What is the potential of harmony? A group of local participants takes to the stage together with the vocal ensemble HYOID. newpolyphonies is a curious high mass about little differences with big impacts.
