Catherine Elsen and Pouya Ehsaei from The Assembly came onto the Breakfast Show today to talk about the interactive multimedia performance and installation project that is currently showing at Opderschmelz in Dudelange as part of the Esch 2022 Cultural Programming.

The Assembly is a project that brings together over 20 artists from all over the world in collaboration. Catherine, a performance artist from Luxembourg is creative director of the project while Pouya, an Iranian, London-based musician and composer is responsible for the sound design.

‘The Assembly’ is a multiplayer virtual reality (VR) experience embedded in an interactive installation that transforms into a performance stage at night. The VR experience, installation and performance can be experienced individually or combined.

Inspired by the universal tradition of collective singing, ‘The Assembly’ revisits this ancient practice and uses new media as a conductive surface to transform bodily movement into a plural voice.

The Assembly, runs until the 8th of March. More information and tickets can be found at: dudelange2022.lu/en/agenda/the-assembly/
