Aurora Bauzà & Pere Jou

Aurora Bauzà and Pere Jou are composers, creators, and performers in the field of performing arts. Their main research focuses on the human voice and its intricate connections with the body, movement, space, stage, and light. Their compositions go beyond the traditional boundaries of artistic genres, treating music as a multidimensional entity with physical, performative, visual, dramaturgical, expressive, and poetic qualities. In recent years, they have presented several scenic works that explore the human voice and the complexity of identity from various perspectives, formats, and stage devices. All of these are unified by their commitment to creating dramaturgical narratives through the human voice.

Their artistic approach involves a physical and movement practice that deconstructs the resonant motion of sound (singing) from visual movement, creating a distinctive interaction. Choreography, viewed through an acoustic lens, blends seamlessly with musical composition, shaping the essence and dramaturgical structure of their interdisciplinary work.

Latest project in residence

LOBO (2026) is a contemporary interpretation rooted in the Renaissance polyphony of De lamentatione Ieremiæ Prophetæ (1602) by Alonso Lobo. Drawing on this vocal composition—originally sung in darkness during Easter—Aurora Bauzà and Pere Jou create a scenic and sensory landscape where six bodies move, sing, appear and vanish. No words, only voice. No text, only light. The piece unfolds as a choreographic and musical exploration of longing and lament, using the interplay of voice, movement and light to reveal what remains unspoken between presence and absence, between the individual and the collective.

Within the context of the artistic residency we are carrying out at Graner (2025), we wish to present Canto de Lobo as a direct antecedent —both methodological and thematic— of this artistic residency process at Graner with the LOBO project. This piece* serves as a prism through which we revisit our fundamental lines of work: the fusion between voice, body, and space; the notion of duality and otherness that runs through our research; and the way the architecture of listening influences composition and the spectator’s perception. Canto de Lobo is not only an antecedent, but also a testing ground and refinement space for what will continue to unfold in LOBO.
