The Goethe-Institut Montreal, Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and Le Vivier - Carrefour des musiques nouvelles and HELLERAU realise an annual residency exchange between Germany and Québec. As part of this exchange, one composer from Quebec is selected for a two-month residency in HELLERAU.
Gabo Champagne - composer and transdisciplinary artist - is in residence in HELLERAU from October to December. During this time, Gabo Champagne is working on the conception of the music theatre piece "Trou noir aux frontières pilo-motrices". Gabo Champagne reflects on the traditional concert framework and explores the role of space in a musical work and the relationship between audience and artists.
Biography
Gabo Champagne is a transdisciplinary artist based in "Tiohtiá:ke/Mooniyang" (Montreal). Gabo's work moves between contemporary music, experimental theatre, performance, video, electroacoustic music and lighting design. Gabo develops contemporary operas, experimental music theatre and video performances, often characterised by transmodality - the transfer of techniques and qualities between different media. Central themes are human relationships, authenticity and closeness, both between performers and in exchange with the audience. Gabo's works have been presented internationally, including in Switzerland, France, Belgium, Denmark, Catalonia, Finland, Austria, Singapore, Canada and the USA.
