From a performance during the 2026 Borealis Festival in collaboration with Bergen Kunsthall.
Created and directed by visual artist Cecilia Fiona, the piece unfolds as a meditative ritual—part funeral, part fertility rite where sculpture, movement, and voice are interwoven. The performers in this piece act as cosmic pollinators carrying small hybrid beings from one sculptural body to another, animating them with their voices, evoking the buzzing of insects and murmurs of spirits.
Performance by Emily Adomah, Kaja Linder Henriksen and Stefan Einarsson
Debussy’s ariettes oubliées, re-imagined: this is ELLIPSIS. Electronically processed voice, preparations for the inside piano. Through improvisation and playful experimentation, we evoke impressionist harmonies that feel intimately close to us, and turn them into electronic textures, fragmented melodies and fluid soundscapes.
Voice and electronics: Emily Adomah
Prepared piano and electronics: Laura Spichtig

“When freedom is in danger anywhere, we all, as citizens of this world should not be silent, because it can come back and bite us.”
