Maker Aïda Gabriëls

Director Aïda Gabriëls (1993) is not easy to categorise. In her work she seamlessly interweaves contemporary and classical music with visual arts, movement, literature and fashion. Fundamental to her work are the diversity of her casts, whimsical interactions between image and sound, and a sensory approach to the merging of different disciplines. With her duo oester, she explores and challenges opera and music theatre as a transdisciplinary playground and investigates their current relevance. During SLOW(36h) she presents an installation in which flowers wither away to an electronic soundtrack. Later, together with Tido Visser, she directs American composer Huang Ro’s Between Two Lights, music theatre inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
