"Brought to life by an international ensemble of ten talented performers, YOUME/ALIEN creates an atmosphere rich with experimental vocal techniques and an eclectic mix of instrumental sounds from strings, winds, percussion, and electronics. This captivating blend results in an otherworldly auditory experience that is further enhanced by pulsating light, evocative fragments of text, and choreographed movement. The music and text fluidly evolve, shattering conventional compositions and embracing their transformative, collective nature."
"This thought-provoking production poses pressing questions: How do we navigate our differences in communication? In what ways can language bind us together yet also create barriers? How can art foster empathy in lieu of division? With over 30 independent productions since its inception in 2013, Opera Lab Berlin continues to redefine contemporary music theatre, serving as a platform for the exchange of diverse lived experiences."
