Creative residency.
Hysteria live is a performance project that lets us hear, experience and interpret the passage of thirty-one zombie satellites through the sky. Launched for the most part at the heart of the Cold War, these technological ruins fed the new information routes, and served as support for intelligence systems, staff and scientists. Displaced into graveyard orbits, between life and death, they continue to emit a residual signal, which our device seeks out in order to reconstruct an archaeology of the sky and communicate with the beyond.
This ceremony of listening to the sky brings together a radio operator (Stéfane Perraud), a percussionist (Yuko Oshima) and a narrator (Aram Kebabdjian). It dynamically blends the ritual pulse of ceremonies, the fluttery song of satellites and the memory of their stories.
The ensemble invokes as much as it summons, reveals as much as it interprets, these sonic ghosts in a form of technological shamanism.

Stéfane Perraud is an artist, Aram Kebabdjian a writer. Together, they create narrative machines. Between fiction and document, art and science, literature and mythology, sculptural installation or transmedia, their work tends to constitute an archaeology of our time. The dialogues they initiate have enabled them to explore the topography of the atom and climatic utopia, to envisage the future of toxic landscapes and to compile a documentary collection on the nuclear imagination. Their work has been presented at Plateforme 10 in Lausanne, CENTQUATRE and BAL in Paris, Lieu Unique in Nantes...
For this satellite listening ceremony, they are joined by Yuko Oshima. A graduate of the École des Percussions de Strasbourg and the Conservatoire de Strasbourg, she collaborates with musicians from the jazz and improvised music scenes. Yuko develops her musical language on drums through improvisation and composition with musicians, dancers and actors. Her musical research leads her to broaden the possibilities of sound, expand her musical universe and also her drumming technique, while retaining her passion for sound, rhythm and groove. His accessories, in particular the Japanese bowls in his intrumentarium, and the appearance of his voice, offer him the possibilities to make his sound universe unique and original.
