Fabrizio Saiu | Métron extended

The concert is articulated in the ways of a training session placed at the limits between the sound action and the art du déplacement. A speech synthesis algorithm (Karen) dialogues with a human voice and intervenes on the modulations of the performer’s gesture through sequences of orders and aphorisms, articulating a sometimes surreal, talaltra prescriptive, oracular or pseudo-philosophical discourse. If Karen intervenes on the performer, Alice leads the audience to reflect on the psychophysical effects of the sound and urges him and actively participate in a perceptive exercise that intertwines the vision to listening and memory.
