Space is only noise
Sound is space
and this performance is about spaces and the people who have inhabited them.
All the spaces we have built and forgotten, occupied, lived in and changed.
Sound is time in space
and this performance speaks of the time we have compressed and distorted. All that time that we did not observe because we were too focused on something else or that we just never saw pass by.
All these spaces, all these times and all these silences have a sound,
a sound image that echoes in our heads.
It is elongated, rippling and impalpable.
It breathes and twists, it struggles and rests, but never leaves us.
The performance is conceived as a single act,
an uninterrupted sound event that has no beginning or end.
It’s an event, an experience of vibrations that fill space in an orderly, non-random manner. They are signs that actively express content, they signify something other than themselves.
They appear mute to us, without knowing their true meaning. At a certain point, when time runs out, we shed these contents and leave, as if the door is closed.
