lieu┬┴┬┴┤(∙_├┬┴┬┴commun is a speculative fiction in constant transformation in which only species with queer and non-monogamous behaviors have survived the Collapse. In this post-apocalyptic ecosystem, hybrid entities coexist in a partially dark and underground environment. They attempt to attune to one another through their own languages, developing new forms of relationship, communication, and interdependence. The interactive soundscape accompanies their evolution; it influences the performers, and they influence it in return whenever they vocalize. Underground, these presences whistle, protect themselves, and confront one another.
