SCRIPT
Like some images, which don’t hold any intrinsic meaning, but acquire value and meaningfulness when they travel through screens, conversations, so does the speech when the body moves.
A score was written for all these parts, with images and text and rehearsed during three months with non-professional singers, and singers to compose something that explored the feeling of the words.
Two choruses who have not meet each before the performance.
Texts and drawings were created exploring images of the sea and fog to create movements for the singing and a script was turned into a score for collective singing.
The sculptures activated in the performance were inspired by a recollection of a scene from Fellini´s Rome (1972),where we see a plastic curtain, sheltering the camera that is filming a car crash scene in the rain.
