[microsound] Who Knows What?

[Claudio Parodi <cla.parodi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Who knows what ?


In a duo, everything is possible, from the reality to the imagination. We begin for example, to investigate the bare reality of a place which can be inside or outside, by dance and music we penetrate this real space which has its appropriate life, following the way it is built, lived, represented. We can also play with furniture and objects of the place, fix them to-gether, transform them into sculpture, totem . Dancer and musician settle a rite which is the history of the place, but also a poetic change of situation.

By playing, they lay themselves emotionally bare, connected to the mo-ment, the accidents, the breaks or aberrations of energy, emotion, the games with objects, materials, suits, make-up. The sweat of dancer and musician deforms or models the scenic, musical, poetic subject. Natu-rally, there is some humor in all this, because the body precisely has its limits. The risk, which we begin to play with, is internal, intuitive; it does not demonstrate itself, it is on the surface of skin, of soul; just a con-versation between musical instruments (piano, clarinet, feedback, trum-pet, snare drum, harmonica), voices and moving bodies.

Positively we are fond of adventurous chaos like improvisation. But J. Cage was the wisest man; for him, if we try to make the world better, we can worsen things. So if we worsen things by opting for disorder, may we become better ?
