The composers, multimedia artists and performers Óscar Escudero and Belenish Moreno-Gil created a performance that explores audiovisual fragments and follows the traces of European community.
As a commissioned composition and libretto by the City of Munich and the Hertz Laboratory of the ZKM | Karlsruhe, the two artists created the performance »Subnormal Europe« for the Munich Biennale 2020.
Moments in personal and social history are characterized by their fragmentary nature. In the linear movement of audiovisual progress of the past years, impressions of special moments in technical reproduction arise. These are often so exact that the original cannot be distinguished from the replica. How can this be experienced artistically? Where and how does Europe shape itself?
Together with the alto Noa Frenkel and the sound engineer Sebastian Schottke, Escudero and Moreno-Gil will create live replicas of the such fragments during the performance. They will enter into a process that will be co-designed by the audience. The results of this artistic process, the reactions, criticism and effect on the performance by the online community will be collected and kept by the EU.
The video offers a look behind the scenes of »Subnormal Europe« by interviews with Óscar Escudero, Belenish Moreno-Gil, Noa Frenkel and Sebastian Schottke.

Part music theatre, part one-woman opera, Subnormal Europe is the brainchild of multimedia artist composers Óscar Escudero and Belenish Moreno-Gil.

The exhilarating live performance involves a singer and a sound engineer, an installation of screens and loudspeakers, and dazzling technology. Commissioned by Munich Biennale to mark Germany's 2020 presidency of the EU Council, it traces the history of audiovisual documentation. The technological progress is clear but what is progress when it starts from the first recording of the human voice and ends at fake news? Against a backdrop of interactive visuals, singer Noa Frenkel delivers a narrative about documentation and truth, and what European values ​​mean to the wider world.
