thrilled to announce my new theatre work, ‘Mount Analogue – A Provisionally Utopian Live Performance Event’, will receive its world premiere at the Oslo Opera House @operaen_ this September as part of @ultimafestivalen Norway🏔 A few years ago I embarked on a journey to adapt Renè Daumal’s 1939 novel ‘Mount Analogue’ into a live work for stage - part-theatre experiment, performance workshop, sound, music and film installation. I am joined by an ensemble of beautiful collaborators to help conjure the journey towards Mount Analogue, including master sound foley artist Nicolas Becker, filmmaker Ben Russell, actor/performers Corinne Jaber & Ivan Cheng, musicians Tony Buck, Camilla Barrett-Due & Guillaume Malaret, scenic designer Simone Bartholin, lighting designer Tanja Ruhl, dramaturg Aaron Orzech & producer Xica Aires. I’m so thrilled to share this piece, ‘The gateway to the invisible must be visible’, wrote Daumal, so it begins ✨🏔

overjoyed to announce a new project I’ve been working on over the past year with the wonderful team of Aeon, Paul and Brigid Hains, @aeonmag and @psyche.the.magazine. In 2022, we are launching a new international series examining philosophy and the performing arts. Commencing in New York, London and Melbourne from April, leading writers, thinkers and philosophers will come together with artists across music, theatre, dance and film, to interpret and discuss questions of our time, existence and speculative future. The first 8 events have just been announced and I’m thrilled to have John Zorn, @hel.gadavis @jackquartet @mollylieber & Eleanor Smith, @fredleone & @yirinda_official, @rosbandt @djirridjirri, @kitdownesmusic @sebrochford @katiebarlowfilms and more participating. The icing on the cake, is that the series was named the Sophia Club before I started on the project 😆 so we share a name within the mission. Putting aside this suspected narcissism veiled as coincidence, please subscribe and check out this program of events. The Sophia Club has been put together with great love and care, and we truly can’t wait to see you at the events. Limited tickets on sale now (link in bio) @sophiaclub_live

very excited to be premiering this new project at @o.festival.rotterdam this Saturday August 28, with the exceptional British organist and composer @kitdownesmusic.

We will be test-driving SET PIECES, a musical encounter where a song cycle is created with voice, selected text and unfixed instrumentation (in this case, organ), to conjure a composition that isn’t really there. Immensely excited for this first voyage with Kit, 10PM @dedoelenrotterdam. #operadagenrotterdam #kitdownes #deborahvogel
