YOU\ME/ALIEN is a theatrical encounter with the ultimateother, a sonic journey into the complexities of identity, migration, and thatwhich we neither know, nor understand. Blurring the lines between the human andthe alien, the piece explores how we relate to the outsider - through sound, movement, and story.

‍

Through a shifting, collaborative soundscape, the worktreats music not as fixed composition but as an evolving language - one thattranscends borders and redefines what it means to belong.

‍

Rooted in lived experiences of migration anddisplacement, YOU\ME/ALIEN uses voice, rhythm, and gesture toinvestigate the space between self and other. The performers shift betweenroles of speaker and listener, creating a fluid dialogue where identity iscontinually reshaped and reimagined.

‍

Experimental vocal techniques, collective storytelling, andchoreographed interactions combine, the performance as a space of sharedvulnerability and resistance. It asks: How do we hear each other acrossdivides? How do we welcome the unfamiliar without absorbing it? Who do we become when we are seen as alien?

‍

This is not opera as usual. YOU\ME/ALIEN is a communal act of listening - a social and artistic experiment in radicalempathy. At once fragile and forceful, it challenges us to confront theboundaries we draw between us and them, and invites us to imagine a world wherethose boundaries dissolve.
