What is the sound of a swansong for the end of the world as we know it? An exploration by director and choreographer Nicole Beutler with eight trainees of the Netherlands Chamber Choir. Next year, the new performance GINKO (or: 56 million years ago there were palm trees on the North Pole) will premiere at O. It will be a final dance; a requiem in which we say goodbye to the objects and memories that characterize our current civilisation. O. Lab gives the first impetus to developing two new choral songs that are associated with GINKGO’s themes. We will attempt to find the voice of opulence and of a sad farewell.

About O. Lab
Tomorrow’s makers will work in WORM for seven days and the doors of the workshop will be wide open. Go inside and give free rein to your imagination. After all, nothing is ready-made; everything is a work in progress. O. Lab is a large creative space where makers can focus on current topics and new work is created. Or not, as the case may be, which is equally possible and acceptable in a lab. As long as O. Lab is operational, you will be the first to share the ideas and findings of the makers. Take a seat on the front row and watch the unfolding of the creation process!
