For Lulu, sound designer Adrienne Teicher constructed a quadraphonic environment using newly recorded material: operatic improvisations by sopranos Mireille Capelle and Margareta Klobučar, layered with everyday sounds captured during three days of studio experimentation in Berlin. The design fractures Lulu’s myth through spatial dissonance—diva-like vibrato collides with the creaks of chairs and hums of fluorescent lights, destabilizing hierarchies between the sublime and the mundane.
Lulu Obermayer’s solo performance interrogates the titular femme fatale—a figure reduced to a mirror for male desire. Drawing on Frank and Tilly Wedekind, Pabst’s Pandora’s Box, Louise Brooks’ memoirs, and Berg’s opera, Obermayer stages a séance with Lulu’s textual and cinematic forebears. HYENAZ’s soundscape amplifies this multiplicity: voices splinter across speakers, refusing a singular “true” Lulu. The work asks not who Lulu is, but how she resounds—a chorus of contradictions echoing beyond the male gaze.
