A multichannel sound installation and event series that explores how embodied knowledge is transmitted across generations and communities.

Radio-Choreography: Yellalah is a multichannel sound installation and event series by Netta Weiser and guests. This 3-day event explores how embodied knowledge is transmitted across generations and communities. We ask: How can we listen to multiple histories we carry in our bodies? How can we form new kinships through staging sonic possible worlds? Radio-Choreography is a long-term artistic research project exploring the transformation of dance into sound, the relations between live broadcasting and muted histories, as well as acts of listening as modes of being together. In Radio-Choreography: Yellalah, we transform the Vierte Welt into a performative sound space and living archive — a resonating landscape of diasporic body memories. A multichannel sound installation interweaves sounds of ancestral Moroccan dance, blessings for fertility in Judeo-Arabic and choreographic poetry. Listeners are invited to move through the installation, experience intimate encounters with subversive forms of knowledge, unheard voices and invisible bodies. The installation is activated with a series of performative interventions, live radio broadcasts, workshops and listening acts, offering multiple perspectives on the relationships between listening, touch, and collectivity. We understand touch and listening as practices of radical openness, where the body is porous, vulnerable, continually encountering and resonating with alterity. Taking a queer-feminist stance, we experiment in new possibilities of being-with, where listening and touch become modes of recognizing difference and connection beyond surfaces, creating a space for hybrid identifications and performance of empathy.
