Funnel of Love

In Funnel of Love, Mira Maria Studer departs from a physical exploration of two types of voices: nature yodelling, a yodel style without lyrics, and the chanting of sports fans. The focus lies on the yearning to belong through sound, collective vocal expression of emotion and vocal techniques that reach/resonate over topographic, architectural and sociocultural distances. This phenomenon can be heard in the roar of the mass on the stadium’s terrace or in a nationalist cultural practice in the mountains, but also in the streets during protests. Field trips in the city with friends searching for these vocal events serve as the departure points for later performative reflections in the studio.
