The performance explores relationships between human voice and physical tensions related to postures assumed by one’s own body. During the performance-workshop, visitors have been invited to walk and to utter vocals aeiou while moving. After a first phase consisting in recording participants’ voices, all the recorded voices have been played at the same. The outcoming soundtrack was then used to activate choreographically the performers. The work entangles the function of the performer and the one of the audience in a single act by which co-partecipatory acts are enquired by simoultaneous improvisational tasks.
