Veus Lliures - Veus dadàs. The women who broke open language

THURSDAYS OF VOICE AND SOUND with Veus Lliures

Veus Lliures is a collective of 13 women improvising singers led by Celeste Alías and dedicated to research and creation through voice and sound.

They work with the limits, textures and expressive possibilities of the voice, turning it into a living, collective sonic material.

Taking place during Women’s Week, and part of the Santa Mònica’s “Voice and Word Thursdays” series, this activity sees the group pay homage to the women of Dadaism: poets and creators who challenged the boundaries of language and the body.

Inspired by figures such as Emmy Hennings, Mina Loy, Hannah Höch and Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, the voices of Veus Lliures weave together to bring forth wordless poetry: sounds, breaths and textures that evoke the transgressive, playful and radical spirit of those women who turned nonsense into expression, noise into art, and freedom into a creative act.
