IAD

Synopsis of the Work

The work was born as a digital transposition of the soundwalk / ɡlɔssolaˈlia /, a project presented by the Ensemble at the Tempo Reale Festival 2020. This transposition stems from the idea that the Ensemble, like many other artists in the same situation, works on the temporary impossibility of realizing an inclusive performance according to traditional canons due to the pandemic situation. IAD is a digital "path" that investigates by bringing the user closer to it, the idea of the ecologically conceived sound space. During the performance, this area, no longer sensorially tangible but volatile, will be composed of the sound environment of the individual rooms / houses and of the people who are inside the digital space at that given moment. This itinerary consists of 8 sound actions, during which the users will investigate the infinite possibilities of sound emission linked to them and to their electronic devices.

From an expressive point of view, the performance focuses its attention, and develops, the dichotomy between the open and public space of the digital world and the closed, private and personal one where you choose how to produce sound, using your own body but only and solely as part of the digital extensions of it (smartphone, computer, smart TV, etc.). This condition will reflect the typical everyday life of the pandemic, where most of the communication, both verbal and non-verbal, is obligatorily digital.
