CIRCUIT is an installation by Alex Akuete and Nina Plantefève – Castryck for children and families where – through movement and touch while playing with positive and negative charges – you discover what music you can make together!
Alex Akuete and Nina Plantefève Castryck spearheaded as artists in a new residency collaboration between wpZimmer, STORM OP KOMST Festival and MAP, with a research project they started in the framework of Antwerp Bijou/Fameus with the working title ESSENCE. They presented a Work In Progress during Love at First Sight at HETPALEIS (Sept ’21). In 2022, they will continue this research – under a new working title CIRCUIT – with residency weeks at wp Zimmer in January and May 2022, and spring try outs in Genk and Turnhout during STORM OP KOMST Festival.
CIRCUIT is an electrically charged musical installation where you yourself are the composer of the sound you hear. In this space, through touch, they want to bring people together musically for play and experimentation.
CIRCUIT is a musical game full of sound and noise for children and their families. About being able to hear touches and thereby make sound. An interactive installation in which you play with positive and negative charges. While moving, discover how they connect, repel or attract each other. Explore how long or short you can make sounds and how many sounds there are to discover. Together, compose the music of this installation!
