World premiere of Svanesang by Marie Højlund, Julian Toldahm Juhlin and Christian Albrechtsen
Free entrance (first come, first served).
Svanesang is a work-in-progress sound installation exploring the brief, vulnerable moment when a boy’s body and voice begin to change. Over a year, artists Albrechtsen, Højlund, and Juhlin recorded transitional voices in the boys’ choir Herning Drengekor as luminous, pure tones gave way to cracks, huskiness, and tonal shifts.
These carefully arranged samples weave vulnerability and unity into a sonic tapestry at once corporeal and sacred. Svanesang foregrounds vocal ‘imperfections’ to challenge traditional ideas of beauty, revealing new expressive potential.
Premiering at MOMENTUM 13, in Moss Church, it highlights the delicate threshold where childhood overlaps with adulthood. The result is a mesmerizing portrait of voices in flux, capturing changes that usually pass unnoticed. Svanesang underscores the liminal zone of transition. By focusing on the ephemeral shift of the human voice, it illustrates the profound shift that occurs when diverse worlds are being reorientated.
