Speaking Cables. Choreographic device for voice, cables and speakers
To bring one’s own voice to the stage in order to interrogate it as something other than oneself. To play with it and enter into a relationship with it, to unravel and stitch space through the spatialised sound revealed on stage. “Speaking Cables” is a choreographic device for voice, cables and speakers. The compositional research – of Beckettian and Cageian inspiration – is articulated in monologues, choruses, dialogues and silences thanks to a choreography that combines the experiences of acousmatic music – created to be listened to through loudspeakers – and sound art, with the idea that speakers are not only acoustic broadcasting devices but also presences with which to relate. Agnese Banti’s research aims to create an open system that, through the improvisation of its compositional cells, enables the creation of an ever-changing dramaturgy in relation to the stage-acoustic space and the audience.
