On 20 May 2022, Amber unexpectedly received a message from her biological father. A moment that changed her life forever. In this solo performance, she explores international adoption through a search for connection across three generations: herself, her father, and her seven-year-old daughter, Lou.

The audience is immersed in a soundscape of sixteen speakers, where voice recordings and field recordings from Seoul are interwoven with a spatial sound composition. Lou's voice and imagination form the heart of the performance, creating a poetic space where fact and fiction merge.

Moving Narrative is a sensory experience about ancestry, identity, and the often elusive traces of family.

About Amber Docters van Leeuwen

Amber Docters van Leeuwen is a cellist, composer, and performer. Her work emerges from an investigative approach in which musical, theatrical, and documentary elements are intricately interwoven. The development of her artistic vision is rooted in the idea that sound is more than music: it is a form of language, a carrier of memory, and a way of thinking.  

Through her platform EEFA Projects, she develops interdisciplinary performances that invite audiences to listen “differently.” In her search for new forms, she leaves space for doubt, for the unfinished, and for the imagination of the audience.
