Piano dell’opera
La performance si basa sull'utilizzo collettivo di un linguaggio fisico comune e la sua applicazione attraverso una serie di azioni eseguite in sincrono con suoni e rumori realizzati dal vivo con oggetti ready-made, materiale di riciclo e strumenti musicali. In una scenografia completamente vuota, gli spazi abitati sono resi visibili ai nostri occhi solo attraverso la gestualità e il suono.
Protagoniste sono figure semi-identiche che fungono da prototipo dell'operaio. Sagome nere con contorni bianchi si stagliano nel buio con una maschera bianca che ne copre il viso e la bocca chiusa con del nastro nero. La coabitazione dello stesso spazio tra performer e spettatori dà vita a un unico ambiente immaginifico che li introduce nei frastuoni di una fabbrica

The performance is based on the collective use of a physical common language and its practice,
through a series of actions carried out synchronously, with live sounds and noises made with ready-made and recycled objects or musical instruments.

agree  Michael Korovkin: you're committing a cardinal sin in art writing by actually reducing the volume of the hot air instead of trying to puff it up more. Unforgivable!
