PARTICLES

2020. Suddenly everything has changed. The world is coming apart, we are singing online or in a car park keeping safe distances from each other. But at the core we‘re still a choir, and that means that we‘re greater together. Out of this state we initiated this creative collaboration.

Director Statement: The choir contacted me because they wanted to document their rehearsals in the car park. When I watched them in this empty car park surrounded by urban noises I thought to myself: it's a beautiful metaphor for resilience. They keep singing no matter what.
