In OPEN STUDIO, artists from various disciplines collaborate with sound artist, director and stage designer Dimitri de Perrot to explore productions that use sound as a central creative element. They develop ideas, perspectives and artistic approaches: How can sound be used to think, create and tell stories?

In their OPEN STUDIO, director, author and dramaturge Anna Papst and multidisciplinary artist Vincent Glanzmann explore the age-old practice of labelling women as crazy and thereby denying them credibility. Unwelcome voices that report on sexism, domestic violence, or sexual assault, for example, are trivialized or silenced altogether in this way.

Freely adapted from Virginia Woolf's ‘A Room of One's Own’ in which the author calls for every woman to have her own (lockable) room for self-development, Anna Papst, in collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Vincent Glanzmann, creates in her first collection of poetry the fiction of a house in which every woman has a room where her voice can be heard and her experiences become part of a collective narrative.

Using the sound recording and playback technology borrowed from Dimitri de Perrot's project ‘Niemandsland’, Anna Papst and Vincent Glanzmann offer each visitor an acoustic tour of this house and an encounter with the women who inhabit it. Text and sound create a porous scene between inner life and the outside world.
