"Wastories"
The new musictheatre production by HYOID, Eva Reiter, Hannah Dübgen and Koen Broos is premiering.
Waste. The mountains of surplus, unusable or discarded material that we throw away say a lot about how we treat our world. With a mix of personal stories and images, composer Eva Reiter, librettist Hannah Dübgen, videographer Koen Broos and the four voices of HYOID weave together a musical theatre work. A meditation on what waste means, both literally and metaphorically, from ecological concern to fascination with recycling and reinvention."
WASTORIES is structured around the four elements of fire, air, water and earth, exploring the theme of waste in the deep sea and in the air
we all breathe, in the process of creating memories and our own stories, our personal stories.
Hyoid asked me to create a film scenography for this performance.
The process of this performance has been ongoing since 2024. We did two residencies in Marseille, where we visited CEREGE, a research institute that deals with, among other things, almost invisible waste. Near Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, there are a number of historically polluted sites where aluminium bauxite, lead and other substances end up in the sea. In the film images, I have tried to make the invisible aspects of this visible. A series of other images were shot in Belgium. It is like my autonomous work, but now in motion.
