Since 2007, La Muse en Circuit, centre national de création musicale has been developing headphone concerts.

Conceived as an extension of what German-speaking people call “Hörpsiel”, literally “play for the ear”, headphone concerts combine radio art and intimate sound theatre thanks to an extremely accurate listening and musical dramaturgy constantly renewed by electronic sound synthesis and processing.

Voice has always been a key element of headphone concerts. Whether it is words, songs or just breathing; it has been sung, spoken or recorded. Throughout the different productions, words have been poems, biographies and novels…

It was very natural that composer and stage director Roland Auzet’s project for Bernard Marie Koltès’ text crosses path with La Muse en Circuit led by Wilfried Wendling. This musical scenography was born from a common will to explore and link the exceptional richness of a sensitive and careful listening, from the microphones’ recording to the infinite imagination fed by electronic music.

The Atrium is located on the main floor of Frick Chemistry Lab on the University campus. View on Google Maps
