ouver­tu­re: man­tras for a club

A star­ting point into a new seri­es of lis­tening situa­tions

Embo­di­ment, sound and voice embrace a con­stant sta­te of tri­al and error in the­se lis­tening situa­tions. Stuck in the thea­tri­ca­li­ty of domestic and emo­tio­nal spaces, sin­ging indi­vi­du­als explo­re their sta­te of expo­sure and offer a tes­ting ground for flat­ness, arti­fi­cia­li­ty and affect. Through phy­si­cal repe­ti­ti­on and pho­ne­tics, the inti­ma­te set­ting opens an ima­gi­na­ry jour­ney and the initi­al steps into a reflec­tion on collec­ti­vi­ty, inte­rio­ri­ty and inter-sub­jec­ti­vi­ty.
