Venusia
Tuesday 12 May 2009, 6.30pm
Salone degli Arazzi
A theatrical sonic jurney inspired by and dedicated to the city of Venice and its lagoon. The performance takes the audience through a number of sonic and musical scenarios, as if it was wandering through an imaginary Venice. Along the way one might catch elements of the Venetian tradition and culture, past and present, glimpses of Comedia dell’Arte and references to Luigi Nono abd the Venetian ‘spatial’music of the XVI and XVII centuries.
Venusia combines music and theatre into a single expresssive form, using the actors’ movements to generate and control paramenters of sound including pitch, volume, spatial position and motion in a 3D surround sound setup. The mapping technology, developed by Andrea Santini in collaboration with Dave Hunt and Middlesex University, London, allows to map phisical gesture and translate it into ‘sound gestures’, capable of creating a spectacular and immersive sound dramaturgy.
