tocando visiones

Carme Torrent in collaboration with Silvia Zayas

A kind of radio-film, an experiment in communication with the memories of places and dances.

We tune into this experience of darkness as a matter of touch, imagination and porosity between us. We will see nothing, yet something is seen as we probe the surfaces and remain in the dark. A darkness that open a time of interruption wellcoming what is to come.

We thus attend to an inmemorial responsability as the ability to respond. We take care of the ways of living together that require immersion, proximity to almost imperceptible events. When what prevails is that "the power of death is the law"; How to reestablish connections with the suppressed or repressed worlds that also constitute us? How is a scenic event arrranged and fertilized? How to repair the ways in which we get involved in events?

(The audience sitting or lying around, at an almost minimal distance from the scene, also being a scene. Immersed in a non-athletic dance, perceiving subtle intertwinings between things, the places of transit are explored, allowing polyphonic situations to emerge that do not seek to be defined, nor to be productive, but rather to generate a time of touch, of oblique attention, of clairvoyance. What a body, a place, an event receives?
In a dark place, bodies, barely-bodies, bearly-images, barely-sounds, like an opacity that appears almost as luminous as the darkness itself, visible and invisible human and non-human strata, ambiguous polyphonic situations, generate a sound landscape, a spectral, strange sonic materiality that babbles between a silent tension and an indecipherable language. ...
Sitting on the margins of language, perhaps as memories, certain visions accompany us in seeing. An experience of virtual worlds, in a latent state, that, even if not perceptible are acting.)
