Lobe – Neo Pastorale

Lobe is an immersive show – For the duration of one hour, the audience participates in the plot taking the role of a herd of cows spending a season on the Alps. With music played and sung live, mixed with the sound of the church’s Bells and recorded music Xavier Moillen, Beat Jaggy and Jennifer Skolovski create a sound environment that takes its origin in the most ancestral rituals of humanity. The appearance of natural spirits, body language and the sound of bells intertwine in a pastoral drama of the 21st century.

The connection with Swiss traditions and myths correlated with the realistic actions of a shepherd’s daily life creates a discrepancy where the beauty of nature but also violence and fear are revealed. The relationship between the animal and the shepherd becomes a metaphor for relationships in a society where power is present and maintained by those who deliberately use the dependence and indifference of others.

Lobe offers a look behind the Swiss postcard idyll to denounce a system in which people are conditioned to desire and consumption. At the same time, Lobe is an invitation to immerse oneself in another reality and to come into contact with the world of shepherds and the elemental forces.
