"Contrary to what mainstream science might argue, imagination is a major component of scientific rationality” rosi braidotti

In November 2020, during covid-19 lockdown, OHT has been invited by Centro S.Chiara in Trento to make a residency without productive due. The result has been an homage to the bare stage by using only the theatrical matter: colours and stage movements.

In 2019 Tomat collaborated with OHT [Office for a Human Theatre] on 19 JULY 1985 - an Alpine Tragedy. He took the role of the chorister in dialogue with a live chorus of 16 voices singing Ligeti’s Lux Aeterna, David Lang and a mountain chant. While the choir represents the emotional and telluric side of the piece, Tomat composed a music evoking nature by treating and distorting natural sounds. His music makes nature the protagonist “in absentia” of the Alpine tragedy.
