kollektiv international totem

is an initiative of sounds artists Kay Zhang, Nuriia Khasenova and Léo Collin,

Trained as classical/contemporary musicians, they interpret chamber or orchestra repertoire, composed by contemporary composers. They transcript, arrange, add visual elements and a storyline to make the score more accessible for a non specialist audience.
In their detalk series, they spend 3-4 days with a guest (composer, sound/visual artist). These collaborations have a very different and interesting outcome each time.
They make scenic compilations of their own compositions.
For this, they work with different artists such as sound engineer Leandro Gianini, solfware developper Dalius Singer, costume and stage designer Mariana Grünig Vieira, object designer Eric Larrieux, instrument designer and sound artist, Kaspar König, composer and performer Cimon Finix, Light designer Viktoras Žemeckas, architect and video game designer Adrian Galeazzi, singer and organiser Meret Roth

They performed in Volksbühne Berlin, Gare du Nord Basel, Dampfzentrale Bern, Gessnerallee- Tonhalle- Das Institut -Walcheturm- Hyperlokal Zürich but also Monash University Melbourne, Potocki Paterson Art Gallery Wellington, Maritime Museum Hong Kong, L’Abri Geneva, La Voirie Bienne ... Kollektiv international totem is supported by the City and the Canton of Zürich and many other foundations in Switzerland.
