The Switzerland based duo Butterland (Regina Dürig and Christian Müller) works in the field of story and sound, their poetical and sculptural pieces seek a mutual approach to narration and reduction.

They do live performances, poetic noise, audio dramas and installations. Some of their works focus on exceptional encounters with the audience, like the Little Literary Studio 2017, the Soirées Festi –stories, sounds & dinner– 2015 or the Goodnight Salon 2013. Many Butterland pieces have been shown at sound art festivals in Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland, some were broadcast by Swiss and German radio stations.

The audio drama Childhood Stories, a poetic documentary about growing up in the 80s in China, was awarded the jury’s price in the category „experimental“ at the Swiss audio festival Sonohr, the audio drama Aus dem Reisewörterbuch received a distinction from the Leipziger Hörstpielsommer. The duo’s actual work «rencontre l’autre» inspired by the French philosopher Luce Irigaray was kindly supported by the Commission francophone chargée des affaires culturelles générales (CFACG) of the Kanton Bern with the grant “Ici & Ailleurs 2019”.
