Rie Nakajima and Pierre Berthet have been creating various ways to vibrate things to make their acoustic shadows dance around: invisible volumes of air that reshape constantly, move in space, enter into the most secret places and inside ourselves. A way to get closer to the inherent spirits of things is to listen to them. Eventually encouraging them to produce sounds and resonate by various means: to hit, caress, shake, beat, scrape, scratch, claw, boil, clap, rattle, rock, throw, move, magnetize, clamp, cook, pinch, galvanize, motorize, bow, blow, pluck, heat up, let flow, freeze, drop, drip, connect, roll, mix, extend, sing, … Pierre Berthet is a Belgian sound artist, performer and musician. Since 2013 he performs occassionally with Rie under the name Dead Plants and Living Objects. The concert takes place in the Baroque dance hall, which is the most splendid and probably the best preserved space in the Palace.
