During this full-day program celebrating the international community that has grown around La Becque, the public had the opportunity to discover, for the first time in Switzerland, a sound performance by the Basel-based ensemble of ten Alponom musicians, who will perform at dawn and dusk the piece You Origin (for alphorns) by American artist Stephen O’Malley, resident at La Becque in 2021.
Also in the line-up: a sound performance by Chilean artist Nicole L’Huillier (2023 La Becque resident) and Swiss-Martinican artist Nathalie Rebholz, a performance by Kosovar artist Astrit Ismaili (2024 resident), a performance by French sculptor Cécile Bouffard and Anglo-American dancer Ruth Childs (2021 residents), a live concert by Korean cellist, composer and improviser Okkyung Lee (2023 resident) and a DJset by Time is Away, made up of British artist Jack Rollo and Irish historian Elaine Tierney, also 2024 residents.
