Radio-Choreography: Howl is a performative sound installation exploring how embodied knowledge is transmitted across generations and communities. How can we listen to silenced histories carried within our bodies? How can we imagine new futures through sound? Hall 5 of Hazira transforms into an intimate listening space and a living archive. A multichannel sound installation interweaves sounds of dance, fertility blessings in Judeo-Arabic, and embodied memories of resistance and healing, creating a sonic landscape that resonates with transgenerational female solidarity across Morocco, Egypt, Berlin, and Jerusalem. Each evening, a different performer will lead the listening experience, bringing her unique voice and artistic world into the sonic space.
The work was created as part of Radio-Choreography, an artistic research project examining alternative ways of documenting dance through sound and exploring the relationship between live broadcasting and muted narratives. Following a series of performances, broadcasts, and installations across Europe, the project now arrives at the Diver Festival. Radio-Choreography: Howl was created in collaboration with Shira Eviatar, Vanessa Paloma Elbaz, and KHOYA: Jewish Morocco Sound Archive.
