Today’s guests are Lisen Pousette and Olivia Rivière, the makers of the performance DUNKEL, which was invited to this year’s [8:tension] Series.
We talked about the time when they met in choir school and how singing is their natural habitat. How they moved on from soprano and alto to heavy metal and growling and about their ongoing fascination with the deconstruction of the voice.
Almud Krejza was talking with Lisen Pousette and Olivia Rivière during ImPulsTanz Festival 2025.
