Synaesthetic concert for the 5 senses
The concert proposes an immersion in the sense of hearing that allows prolonged contemplation of sounds and voices. During the entire duration, the audience is advised not to clap and to remain silent. The singers will also never speak, and communication will only take place via a few signs or through body language. The listeners (max. 60) receive a kit containing 9 sensory stimuli (3 smell, 3 touch, 3 taste) and a sheet of ‘instructions for use’.
The singers improvise by taking inspiration from the same stimulations experienced by the listeners, using the voice as an instrument. In addition to the three previously mentioned senses, they create improvisations from the fugacious presentation of images of geometric shapes (sight), also involving the listeners in playing with the voices, and finally they perform some improvisations from the random choice of titles previously written by the audience (Tell Impro).
