ARAME (WIRE) [2018]

Synopsis

______WIRE is a human body, organic, hot and a metallic material, inorganic and cold, twisting, curling, sculpting, screwing, disturbing, fighting, composing and following together. This tangle is also a soundscape, through a device that captures the vibrations of the metallic material, amplifies and produces a sound/echo/sound fiction. A choreographic action/continuous trajectory guided by a long wire.

______ARAME is a choreographic action that proposes a continuous trajectory guided by a long wire. The performer relates to the wire causing distortions, changes and new proposals for structures in the material, in a mutual dance in which the wire also affects and modifies the performer's body. A human, organic, hot body and a metallic, inorganic and cold material are twisted, curled, sculpted, curled, hinder, fight, compose and go together. The tangle of dance also becomes a soundscape, through a device, developed / programmed by the sound artist bella, located at the other end of the wire, which captures the vibrations of the metallic material, amplifying and producing a sound.
______At the beginning, the performer begins the approach with his eyes closed, seeking a connection, real and / or fictional, with the material; picking up whatever is from the wire, consoning it with your breath. At the other end, in the area where the trajectory ends, there is a sound box, which produces a soundscape from the capture of the vibrations of the wire by a contact microphone. All actions and information become their transmission, and it is in these uncertain intervals between an action and its transmission that dance and sound arise.
______Within this system, the performer seeks another ontological tactic to exist, learning from another subject. The wire is a metal wire that has qualities that can seem contradictory, such as lightness and resistance, malleability and support, it is a resilient and adaptive material but also fragile. In ARAME, the material of the choreographic action is what vibrates and emanates sonorously from the relationship between the performer and the long wire. WIRE is the one that is constantly changing and reforming but seems to retain something that remains, some resilience that manages to keep something that will always be there, in all transmissions.
