    Lux Aeterna

It begins with a sunny day, accompanied by birdsong and plenty of food. At the center of this perfect existence sits enthroned a large piano. However, a divine rule hovers over the immaculate, shiny black instrument, a holy decree: its keys must never be touched. Inspired by films, 1960s television series and rituals, “Lux aeterna” oscillates between solemnity and lightness, making the sound the protagonist. This requiem mass with its classical movements (Kyrie, Sanctus, Agnus Dei) and texts of mourning and remembrance raises profound questions: How can one lend sound to the sound barrier?

---Ludmilla Mercier and Andrea Zamengo are a contemporary music duo with a strong focus on music theater. They are influenced by contemporary music, but above all by other art forms such as theater, movement and film. The duo's aim is to go beyond the purely sonic aspect and give equal importance to the visual aspect. The two artists met at Bern University of the Arts in 2019 and have been working together ever since, taking part in various projects at the HKB. In 2023 they won the prize of the Nicati-De Luze competition.
