Helmut Lachenmann / Heiner Goebbels

A House of Call, a vast, lavishing, Babylonian imaginary notebook of Heiner Goebbels' travels around the world, is a sum total of sounds, styles, languages, cultures and voices. It brings us the voices of the living and the dead, recorded over the course of just over a century. Its orchestra responds to the grains of these voices, thereby renewing a centuries-old tradition of responsorial art.

Alone onstage, Thomas Quillardet unravels the stories of patients he encountered during an artistic residency in a hospital. He assembles a polyphony of voices in order to share in his empathy and create a radiography of what links us together.
