Performance “Instantanee – Tribute to Le Sacre du printemps” – Accademia di Belle Arti di Macerata, Italia – 2018

Performance “Instantanee – Tribute to Le Sacre du printemps”, Accademia di Belle Arti di Macerata, Italia – September 2018. Performance with and without the double bass.

The performance aims to stage the mimesis of the rite of musical creation and its instrumental performance with its visual representation of the performer’s absolute identification with this constantly evolving creative process.

The performer, with her own experience, immerses herself in the search for aesthetic expression and at the moment she performs her gesture he connects the language of sound to the photographic-visual language, thanks to the gesture itself and arouses images of intense and effective pictorial emotion, in which timbres and harmonies mimic colours and atmospheres.

I would therefore like to focus on the impression of a moment, of an instantaneous emotion, as in a photographic shot, in an attempt to capture the intimate and sacred arising from the performer’s gesture and to make it re-emerge from the chaotic and shapeless dimension of everyday life in which it is concealed.

The movement expresses the unspoken and the unplayed, thanks to the sight and like a photographic shot that opens up an inner infinity in the silence.
The ritual gesture is technical and precise, an active machine in its tireless repetition of the shot as if it were a pulsating metronome, and the research and study of familiarity with sound originates thanks to traditions and rules handed down from Master to Master.
But the magic of the movement that generates the sound, as in photography and painting, even in the apparent exterior gestural conformity and its total control, lies in the subterranean and irrepressible interpretative rebellion against every prefixed and imposed scheme.

The action undertaken constitutes each time a unicum, which assimilates the individual relationship and the sensory experience of the interpreter to a renewed creation.

“Whatever it shows and whatever its manner, a photograph is always invisible: what we see is not it. – The clear room – Roland Barthes.

The performance thus celebrates silence as an archetype of transcendence of the listening body and at the same time as an allusion to the flow of music, which on the contrary leads it back to the mystery of completeness, balance and perfection.
