Frauenliebe und - Leben, opus 42
Robert Schumann
regie & concept: Lulu Obermayer
commission & co-production: DE SINGEL co-production Forecast - Skills e.V with support by Stad München
The arrival of Lulu Obermayer is a breath of fresh air in the world of opera and classical music. With her radical interpretations, the young German director challenges the genre’s normative approach. Obermayer knows what she is talking about: she grew up in a context in which opera is ubiquitous. Her name is even derived from the eponymous opera by Alban Berg. For her latest performance, Frauenliebe und -Leben, she takes Robert Schumann’s eponymous song cycle as her starting point. For Obermayer, the stereotypical image of the devoted, faithful 19th-century woman who dedicates her life to the man of the house is the perfect starting point for focusing on a number of issues. The cycle is extended by Obermayer to eight hours, the length of a working day, and the solo voice is obliged to give way to eight female voices. In a musical installation there is reflection on the complexity of being a woman, female love and mothership.

March 1st., 2022: release of digital album / compact disc "Stordeur Tribe".
Stordeur was born in Haine-Saint-Paul. His musical career started in 1977 with a tape composition for the soundtrack to a film on Gordon Matta-Clark titled "Office Baroque", by Eric Convents and Roger Steylaerts.
Later in the 1970s, he participated in the avantgarde music ensemble "Studio voor Experimentele Muziek", founded in Antwerp, Flanders, by Joris De Laet in 1973. S.E.M.'s associate composers in the 1970s included: Dirk Veulemans, Paul Adriaenssens, Karel Goeyvaerts, Lucien Goethals and Serge Verstockt.
Stordeur founded his own electronic music studio "Studio Synthèse" in 1973 in Brussels.
In 2020, the Antenna Fest paid tribute to this forerunner in Belgian and international electronic music. The result of this tribute has now been released in the form of a CD and a digital download.
Artists who once worked with the man have put him in the flowers. as there are Willy Van Buggenhout and Françoise Vanhecke Soprano, Guy Drieghe D.
You can hear the result at the Bandcamp of AntennA.
Released: March 1, 2022.

Fascinating COVID solo concert 'More than a Voice'. Livestream on YouTube
For the last concert of "Klassiek in Den Botaniek" we are honored to invite soprano and Knight in the Order of the Crown, Dr. Françoise Vanhecke PhD (aka composer Irma Bilbao) for a fascinating COVID solo concert 'More than a Voice'.
Appointment next Tuesday 15 Dec, 12.30-13: 10 a.m.
Livestream link: YouTube
Passionate curiosity and polyvalence characterizes the singer-composer who, with her phenomenal voice and her unique Inhaling Singing - ISFV® technique, and as a trendsetter with performances ranging from baroque to pop and experimental music, regularly performs on the program of major music festivals and theaters of the world. A Palmo D’Oro in Italy and the New York Women Composers Grant gave her international career a strong boost, but she is therefore not a “BV”.

Resumption Basta Diva: Thurday 21st May 2019 at CC Het Spoor in Harelbeke.
Resumption.
Thursday 21 May at 14.30 at the CC Het Spoor in Harelbeke.
In Basta Diva, Françoise plays the role of Lucia Carmella Pommodori di Monte Carlo, who gives a concert. However, this concert is getting a bit out of hand and the cleaning team of the theater is allowed to clean it up and it is completely unexpected to provide an apotheosis.
Françoise fascinates and plays, literally and figuratively. She accompanies herself on the piano and sometimes plays the tiles of the roof as a fallen and twisted diva. A diva from us with a clock of a voice. A lady with allure, style and sense of humor. Classical, opera, contemporary, chanson, cabaret, pop. She brings music as a world language. Lieven plays the role of master of ceremonies and presenter, who is gradually getting tired of the cures of the diva who does not want to see that she is over her top. Diva Basta is a hilarious show full of emotion, emotion, humor and laughter.

30 janvier 2019: "Les voies de la voix acousmatique"
30 janvier 2019 20h00 Espace Senghor Chaussée de Wavre, 366 Bruxelles (Belgique).
Programma:
Yawar Fiesta (2006-12) Extrait de Annette Vande Gorne/Werner Lambersy, opéra électroacoustique avec la voix de Françoise Vanhecke.
Déluges et Autres Péripéties (2014-15) Extrait de Annette Vande Gorne/Werner Lambersy. Avec les voix de Werner Lambersy, récitant - Françoise Vanhecke, soprano (inhaling singer ISFV®, improvisator) - Annette Vande Gorne, voix transformée et lecture des citations - 16 pistes « Nous attendons la destruction ». Cette phrase comme une litanie qui s’applique à toutes les activités des sociétés humaines aujourd’hui, m’a frappée par son implacable évidence. J’ai construit une suite enchaînée de courtes scènes différentes, avec les improvisations de Françoise Vanhecke et la nouvelle technique de chant par inhalation (inhaling voice) qu’elle a mise au point comme principale source de matériaux sonores. L’esprit de la pièce est celui d’un hörspiel en forme de cantate. Elle est encore inachevée, car prévue dans une forme longue de 45 à 60’. Avec l’aide du WBI (Wallonie-Bruxelles International), œuvre réalisée dans le studio 16 canaux « PanaRoma » de l’université de l’état de Sao Paulo (merci à Flo Menezes) et dans le studio 16 canaux « Métamorphoses d’Orphée » de Musiques et Recherches (Ohain, Belgique).

05 May – 27 May 2018: theatre show "Tristesses" at Odéon, théâtre de l'Europe, Paris.
A show by Anne-Cécile Vandalem (Das Fräulein (Kompanie))
With Vincent Cahay, Anne-Pascale Clairembourg, Epona Guillaume, Selene Guillaume alternating with Asia Amans, Pierre Kissling, Vincent Lécuyer, Catherine Mestoussis alternating with Zoé Kovacs, Jean-Benoit Ugeux, Anne-Cécile Vandalem alternating with Florence Janas, Françoise Vanhecke and Alexandre Von Sivers.
"Tristesses":if the name is here plural, it means that it is both that of a Scandinavian island, a police suspense, a political symptom. The island is hardly imaginary. Anne-Cécile Vandalem has located a fable for our time. Martha Heiger, leader of the Popular Awakening Party and favorite of the next elections, returns to Tristesses to repatriate the body of her mother on the continent. But why did Ida commit suicide while hanging on to the Danish flag? And what does her daughter really do? "Tristesses" being also a Nordic thriller, we will not reveal more here, but the isolated houses on the night of the set are the scenery of a drama where outdoor stage and indoor filmed alternate on a pace worthy of the best series. Finally, Tristesses proposes a reflection on the rise of populisms: according to Vandalem, "the sadness of the peoples" is today one of the most formidable techniques of manipulation of the spirits. But "tears", she adds, "have an infinite aesthetic power", indeterminable, and "emotions can be momentum, motor, energy to initiate an active speech or act". This energy conquered in 2016 the audience of the Festival d'Avignon: by exposing the enslaving mechanisms of sadness, the artist invites you not to succumb to them.

8 tot 14 juli 2016: Festival D'Avignon: Françoise Vanhecke speelt de rol van Ida Heiger in het theaterstuk "Tristesses"
Het stuk is een creatie van Anne-Cécile Vandalem en ontleedt met veel humor het huidige nationalistische klimaat in Europa en de manier waarop politieke partijen hele volkeren in het verdriet storten bij wijze van politiek wapen.
Fictie en realiteit ontmoeten elkaar in deze thriller waarin de personages gevangen raken in grappige en wrede houdingen en waarin de verraderlijke macht van de media een dominante rol speelt.
U kan Françoise Vanhecke aan het werk zien in het "Gymnase du lycée Aubanel", te Avignon van 8 tot 14 juli 2016.
