VOX NON INCERTA: Electroacoustic Performance Drama
Saturday 15 Feb 2025
The Electroacoustic Performance Drama VOX NON INCERTA (Voice Without Uncertainty), revolves around the search for the inner voice that manages to rescue people from chaos and pushes them towards continuity and survival, even when it seems impossible to do so.
Focusing on an iron construction-shelter with 33 notches that allow the observation of its
interior, the audience is invited to take a position in front of a hidden agonizing existence, in
the succession of three episodes;
Mouth full with water
–
Mouth full with air
–
Mouth full with soil
Language dialects and symbols derived from international codes and
communication signals are activated, combined with ritual traditions from the Bildakt
Orchestra, the Paratroopers and the Optical Signal.
Will we manage to find this Voice? Who is it?
