16 Sep PRÁCTICAS DE RESISTENCIA #1 performance by Pía Sommer in collaboration with Iván Molina //
In our nomadic flight, we invite you to the presentation of Pía Sommer’s performance in collaboration with Iván Molina, within the ARTefACTe, a performative laboratory representing a new cultural institutionality that is based on the promotion of performative practices and performativity studies and in collaboration with CC Convent de Sant Agustí.
PRÁCTICAS DE RESISTENCIA #1
Muscle strength and repetition have the same niche: resistance. The proposal encompasses several connotations of the concept: resistance can be physical, as is the collaborative practice of all organs, bones, muscles and ligaments in the production of the voice. Likewise, during the development of the piece, it transforms us and transfers us – we transform and transfer ourselves – towards a sound experience of acoustic progression: another resistant practice that works with the element of repetition as a consequence of opposition to alienated work; contrary in all its angles to collaborative work. Then, a thermal characteristic of resistance appears when we generate heat with the movement of our bodies: here a kind of shanzhai of the dervish dance appears to resist from a center; and at the end (and from the beginning) thinking about the inevitable, a political resistance of the body and the sound: subversion without violence.
Thus, in these articulations of the word and the artistic sense of things attached to our bodies with sound extensions (voice and drums), we aim (without a bullet) towards a piece that allows us both the experience of rethinking our bodies as beholders of resistance through collaboration and repetition, such as opening ourselves up to the subjective capacity of sound that appears disjointed and rebellious in the face of a world that has entered a state of passivity.
Resistance practices # 1 is the union of the unconventional, fixed and rotating voice in the company of an indeterminate and conscious percussion.
