We’ve been nominated for the brand new Designers Award from the Dutch Theatre Festival for the music and sound of Het Zomeroffer!
We’re incredibly proud that this award now exists, and that we’re part of its very first, historic group of nominees.
The music of Het Zomeroffer is a liberal adaptation of Stravinsky’s Le sacre du printemps. It was composed by Touki Delphine for seven musicians and an installation of taillights and car horns, performed by musicians from Asko|Schönberg and Touki Delphine themselves.
Sound wizard Will-Jan Pielage designed the entire auditory landscape of the production.
July 4 – 6, 2025 at Down The Rabbit Hole, Groene Heuvels, Beuningen, Netherlands.
Fresh from the United States, where Touki Delphine, by invitation, emptied American car graveyards to build a transatlantic version of their iconic installation. FIREBIRD has already lit up the deserts of Utah and the coasts of California. This fall, the journey continues at renowned festivals and museums in New York, Arkansas, and New Hampshire. But first: back home for the Dutch summer festival season.
June 13 – 22, 2025 at Oerol in Terschelling, Netherlands.
DRIFTING, Touki Delphine’s new work, is a new ecosystem built from nothing but waste: ethernet cables from thrift shops, windshield washer fluid reservoirs and their pump motors from junkyards, and salvaged speaker cables from Touki’s own studio. The piece comes alive in live sessions, where musicians engage in dialogue with the installation: An underwater world, deep in the forest.
