- a concert -

“Antarctica is the last place you fall down when you shake the earth and nowhere else you will stick.”

Inspired by the documentary Encounters at the end of the world from Werner Herzog.

There is a little town on the South Pole, called McMurdo. In this town you find scientists, divers, biologists, but also ex bank employees and other particular people. Why did they end up in Antarctica? What was the story of their lives before they came to this land of ice and silence? They work and live here. There is one coffee bar and one grocery shop.

We started from our own biographies. We searched for the alternative life we also could have lived. We imagined that at some point in our life we decided to go McMurdo. Because we longed for the snow we had in our youth and we believed in close communities where our parents failed in the past and we lost loves and never got over them, not even on Antarctica and we were wondering at what moment in our life nature left us and we wanted it back and we wanted to be the activists and the specialists and the divers to understand what is happening to our world and we also wanted to find the nearest disco and listen to the sound of the seals.

Together with the musicians of Touki Delphine we created a biographical concert. The story of how we ended up on the South Pole is told in 10 songs.
