“ SILLONS DE MEMOIRES” is a music‑theatre production in which a multilayered narration—performed by four percussionists, a choir, and the soloists of the Opernhaus Zürich—guides us into a universe where the sounds of places, the transformation of memories, storytelling, imagination, and poetry become an act of resistance.
Together with Katharina Rosenberger, we explore themes such as home, exile, memory, and collective reparation. We merge our musical languages and open multiple pathways for engaging with these subjects.
Fragments of stories are sung and spoken, sounds of places emerge, and layered narratives unfold, addressing an urgent need to remember, to speak aloud, and to sing.
The work was developed with the participation of Percussion Ensemble Eklekto and the Soloists and Choir of Opernhaus Zürich, under the direction of Steven Whiting and dramaturge Jana Beckmann.

“ VAYRER ” is an audiovisual experimental film/installation that merges visual art, music, sound, and contemporary poetry.
Created in close collaboration with Serge Manouguian, the project seeks to transpose Krikor Beledian’s poetic work Vayrer into a visual and sonic experience.
Just as the poet forges his own language and creative/living space through literature, the installation embodies that vision in a multilayered form, where selected poems unfold as animated sound and visual spaces.
