Sand Sand Sand

Kyara Arthouse was thrilled to invite art-lovers in the region to participate in a performance by two contemporary artists, Siedl/Cao. The music-theatre performance of Sand Sand Sand was hosted inside our art space—a perfect setting for tranquility and reflection as 2023 rushed through its final weeks.

Sand Sand Sand is a minimal music theatre composed and performed by the duo Siedl/Cao. In it, one comes into contact with "time" in several ways and from different perspectives. Its slowness and minimalism is a reaction to social acceleration and the overwhelming amount of information available today.

Sand Sand Sand is a recontextualisation of the seemingly ordinary. It brings out different meanings through different layers of context: where a turn-of-the-century French waltz is paired with encoded robot-like communication; where childhood photos are accompanied by a singing nightingale; where words are set free to the air amid the music of "The Blue Danube" and New Year's firecrackers; where found postcards from Austria and Vietnamese poetry coincide with a flock of flying wild geese.
