A Guide to Self-Synthesis

A Music Theater Performance by Opera Lab Berlin

Opera Lab Berlin, described as "one of the most experimental and refreshing musical theater groups in the Berlin’s independent performing arts community" (Siegessäule), takes inspiration from pioneers of electronic music such as Wendy Carlos, SOPHIE, Pauline Oliveros and Éliane Radigue in their new performance. They celebrate overcoming mechanical-acoustic sound production and going beyond heteronormative boundaries.

Together with trans singer-songwriter Marlene Bellissimo, known from The Voice of Germany, Opera Lab Berlin explores the sonic potential of electronics for defining your own parameters in A Guide to Self Synthesis.

What possibilities does synthetic sound production offer? How do queer harmonies and trans oscillators sound? Following the principle of Mauricio Kagel´s instrumental theater, singing and dancing, music from synthesizers, motion-tracking technology, composition and choreography come together in A Guide to Self-Synthesis, a new utopian and emancipatory celebration of electronic music.
