Business Overview
Inspired by Mori Ogai's short story Vita Sexualis, composer Francesca Leroy created an original musical drama. In this performance, we try to show a part of the creative process and show the beginning of the project's journey around the world. With creative members from various backgrounds, we aimed to continue to connect cultural pipes through individual collaboration that transcends the boundaries of "country."

Profile
[Sound & Word Network]
The Sound & Word Network is made up of sound artists (composers, performers, DJs, improvisers, etc.) and word artists (writers, poets, visual artists who use text, etc.). Founded in the summer of 2020 by composer Francesca Leroy and writer Charlotte Wueller, the network aims to foster new networks and intercultural exchanges among creators. Through collaborative projects, Sound & Word Network members explore new ways of connecting sound and words.
