NRArca forms a visual and sonic world that merges reality and fantasy. In collaboration with Frederik Heyman, images are created that celebrate psychosexual versatility, desire and transformation. “Prada” explores trans identity, shamelessness and desire as a infinite continuum, while “Rakata” honours the origins of Latin American music with sensual heat – a vibrant fusion of bodies, sound and space.

NRArca presents her new musical exploration, "The Light Comes in the Name of the Voice" at the Bourse de Commerce. The unique acoustics of this monumental space, formed by the union of the 19th-century Halle aux blés and Tadao Ando's concrete cylinder, offer her a distinctive echo chamber and a new playground. Produced specifically for this space, "The Light Comes in the Name of the Voice" is a quest for sound transformation. It is first formed between Arca and a magnetic resonated piano—an electronically-augmented acoustic instrument that produces new acoustic sounds from the piano strings, inducing vibrations to create countless crescendos and harmonics, all controlled from the keyboard.
