makes productions at the intersection of music and theater, resulting in new forms of music theatre. VOCAAL
LAB walks on alleys and side streets, dares to fall, and aims for an exciting symbiosis between often unexpected disciplines. From Renaissance to hiphop, from Baroque to the contemporary avant garde and rock, nothing is impossible!
VOCAAL
LAB stands for innovative music theatre of high quality for a large and diverse audience. Within a period of ten years VOCAAL
LAB constructed a group of allround performers from all over the world. Singers who dare to go further than their voice:
beyond the voice.
Highlights were presentations of
Machinations by Georges Aperghis during the Operadagen Rotterdam, and
Autland by Sergei Nevsky in the Bochum Ruhrtriennale. In June 2010 VOCAAL
LAB performed
A Dog’s Heart (after M. Bulgakov’s novel) by Alexander Raskatov with De Nederlandse Opera. During Holland Festival 2011 VOCAAL
LAB brought with Asko | Schönberg the chamber opera
The Cricket Recoversby Richard Ayres, directed by Pierre Audi. The 2011/2012 season will see VOCAAL
LAB performing, among other productions,
MonteverdISH – a hiphop breakdance opera with breakdance group ISH; and – in coproduction with LOD Ghent –
Les Aveugles.
