The theme of the next edition of La Semaine du Son is "ICE" (In Case of Emergency.) We will offer a full program of concerts, performances, installations, sound walks, discussions, workshops and more!Have you ever heard the sound of a glacier moving and melting? Have you heard the crackling sound of matter being subjected to climate change? How can we enter into a meaningful relationship with this reality that seems so removed from us, even though it is of direct concern to us? Can sound creations bring us closer to other environmental and climate change issues in a meaningful way?
