SHARED SPACE II is an open day of showings and interventions, concluding the collaboration between Biliana and Elsa during Elsa’s residency at Roam Projects Berlin. The event continues Biliana’s concept Shared Space of the Liberated Sound, first presented in 2023 at Toplocentrala Sofia in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Sofia. It brings together Berlin-based guest artists alongside a newly created installation by Biliana and Elsa, creating a shared performance environment.

The project explores thresholds between sound, silence, word, meaning, and non-meaning, focusing on non-verbal communication through presence, gesture, voice, instruments, and collective listening. The gallery becomes a living installation, shaped by Mencagli’s ceramics, fabrics, and found natural materials, interwoven with Voutchkova’s sound compositions, based on collected lullabies transmitted through embedded mini-speakers. Live musical spacial interventions in shifting constellations will respond to the installation, which functions as both score and habitat. Guest performers are invited into a co-compositional process, developing shared material in advance and activating the space through live interventions. The emphasis is on attentive listening and collective resonance, merging individual expression into a shared sonic space.

SHARED SPACE II offers an immersive, participatory experience that expands performance into a shared act of listening and exchange, opening space for encounters between performers, installation, and audience.
