CorpOrale [2020]
performance
Concept: Federica Dauri
Body & Voice: Federica Dauri
Sound installation, sound design: Elisa Batti
CorpOrale is a performance born from curiosity to explore the sonic aspects of the human body, such as voice, breath, body percussion, heartbeat, and digestive sounds, and their interplay with body movements. Technology serves as the medium through which artists Federica Dauri and Elisa Batti collaborate as co-composers to create a performative experience. During the performance, technology amplifies, reproduces, and potentially manipulates all sounds resulting from these actions. Working with contact microphones, suspended external microphones, and hydrophones, Elisa Batti collaborates as a co-composer with Federica Dauri, overseeing all aspects related to sound: sound recording, processing, and the creation of a sound and visual installation using the aforementioned technological apparatus. The performer becomes a choreographer of sounds, a musical instrument and the music at the same time. The body is the source of those sounds which, together with their technologically expanded and modified versions, become the final live composition. There is an absolute interdependence between body and sound, in which there is no longer a hierarchy between creator and creation, meaning and content, and action and result.
