VOID VOID VOID

VOID VOID VOID is a choreographic and sound performance — a landscape where gesture, sound and space are diluted in one matter. This is an experimental project, in which, through an immersive atmosphere, a choreographic and sound device is created, functioning as a game of volumes and contrasts between the visible and the invisible, between silence and noise, between chaos and order, between reality and imagination. Working with abstraction and the imaginary (but never losing the reference to the real), the piece is dedicated to the construction of a landscape based on the void or rather: a landscape that erupts and transforms through nothingness.
