The Architectural Association Interprofessional Studio is a leading team in spatial design, choreography, photography, art performance, video and art installation. The AAIS under the direction of Theo Lorenz and Tanja Siems now brings its skills to Catalan grounds and cultural retreat Las Heras, Girona. Presenting an art performance and ephemeral spatial installation the project gathers the best level creative professionals’ passion for the arts and culture. Continuing the To Be Honest Festival sequence of events started in London last March 2017, To Be Honest.Spain raises awareness on how truth, trust and integrity rely on our day to day life. The Hidden Silence invites the audience to reimagine how a story is been told. The piece questions what has been experienced, the valid and the forgotten, the narrative and the memory.

Workshop <The Choreographic Documentation> with BAU School of Design, Barcelona
July 7th, 2017
In Collaboration with Renaud Wiser, Jonathan Goddard, Joe Walkling from New Movement Collective NMC
This choreographic documentation introduces the experience of documentation with the audience. It reflects on the different perspectives of the characters involved in The Hidden Silence performance. Audience will experience the fluctuations of “cycle” from different angles in an outdoor space of multiple intensities. During the performance the audience role will shift from a spectator role to a participant role according to the timeline.

Performance <The Hidden Silence>
July 8th, 2017
In Collaboration with Renaud Wiser, Jonathan Goddard, Joe Walkling from New Movement Collective NMC
'The Hidden Silence' is an art performance presenting disrupted phases within a cycle of a single storyline. By inviting audience to discover the multiple perspectives unveiled by strolling through space, the fidelity of rituals is interrogated. A carefully crafted choreography in collaboration with the dance company New Movement Collective challenges people’s attempt to phrase a common storyline of a shared moment. Primarily the performance invites audience to evaluate and outline a new meaning for truth. The performance offers music composed in collaboration with sound producer Tom Froggatt synchronised with an atmospheric light design. The Hidden Silence creates an enigmatic environment with multiple paths that envelope the audience experience.
