Thomas Azier

Thomas Azier presents PANORAMA, a live performance combining music and images. The music is interpreted together with synthesist Annelotte Coster, saxophonist Maarten Hogenhuis, and string players Stefan Wellens and Sam Faes. PANORAMA is a humanistic portrait of life on the brink, where illness, desire, fear, and hope coexist and quietly shape each other. Created during a time of turmoil, this new work plays with relentless shifts in scale, from the intimate and everyday to the overwhelming landscapes of the mind. The performance forms a polyphonic narrative: a mosaic of different perspectives and observations. Poems, field recordings, video projections, and performers break through the traditional concert structure, giving it a fragmented, collage-like character until a quiet logic emerges. PANORAMA is a collection of perspectives. The voice of a beluga whale, lost and disoriented, swimming upstream through the Seine. An opera singer lamenting from the audience. The silent fall of a man, filmed in slow motion. A loudspeaker on stage broadcasting field recordings as if they were relics salvaged from a bygone world. A poem about a lonely Parisian boy in an abandoned, overheated summer city. Azier's music, often described as poignant, carries his strong melodic and melancholic sensibility into PANORAMA, blending string arrangements and experimental practices into a series of fascinating pieces. His voice becomes an interpretive tool, shifting between masculine and feminine, human and animal, mythical and real. Songs are juxtaposed with interruptions and character changes that alter rhythm and mood, like switching channels or scrolling through an endless feed. The performance unfolds seamlessly, with music and images rarely overlapping, but rather replacing each other in an ever-changing dialogue. Across these disparate fragments, Azier and his musicians slowly develop a coherent overall picture that is sometimes monumental, sometimes very intimate.
