Performance
Luísa Saraiva
Tirana
Tirana is an immersive sound choreography that explores singing physicalities, the air in a body and the limits of the female voice, both in pitch and volume.
The work addresses gender issues through the production and interpretation of sound. Inspiration is gathered from Portuguese folk songs and female polyphonic repertoire, which are traditionally sung in a loud and expansive manner and address themes of female labour, motherhood and violence.
Sound artist, Inês Tartaruga Água, created a new instrument especially for this piece. By sculpting movement and sound landscapes, the spaces in between are investigated, from breath to song.
For the visitor, this performance is a very physical experience.
