In a trance-like environment that blurs the lines between choir, performance, and choreography, Second Breath explores the primal essence of the voice: the breath. Central to the piece is a transformative wearable instrument – an extension of the performer’s lungs that shapes around their chest, creating a resonating chamber for sound.

iii resident Myra-Ida van der Veen works with multimedia performance, electroacoustic instrument building and vocal practices. Her work explores the interactions between the body and its extensions in space, technologies, and other individuals.
