EAVESDROPPER
Music for vocal, contemporary dance performance, Ultimafestivalen (2024)
The voice has a uniqe ability to flow through seemingly uncoherent spheres, materials and positions. Eavesdropper is a trembling choreographic sound work where the voice´s inherent borderlessness is intensified through bodily distortions of the vocal sound. Rythm, tonality, timbre and spaciality glides between the irrestistable and the disturbing, resulting in a productive confusion where social and physical mechanisms are put to work, researching how the unstable and the unclean are participants in maintaining the social order in several cultures.
We seek what can be discoverd by being seduced into a place where mening collapses, where the sensoric is ravaging, losing oneself for a moment. Seeking other ways of sensing and alternative connections between bodies and the surroundings, Eavesdropper exchanges the desire for expansion with a radical openness. The acpustic voice-body lets the inside stream out and the ouside seep in. Sound is dancing throught he room as movement is reverbing in the ears.
