GLORIES TO NOTHINGNESS

A becoming.

in 17th century Venice.
… based on a singer’s artistic research – performed in the 21st century – into/through the Art of Performing Everything and Nothing.

PROLOGUE
On stage a voice appears. Alone. At first. Unaccompanied. Naked. Solo. Vulnerable. Fearful. But there is no such thing as being alone. The act unfolds itself into a poetics carried out by a single voice and all its multiple relations: Ottavia, Deidamia, Maria Eleonora, Renzi, The False Mad, Un/Know, unexpected stories entangling themselves into every corner of space/time. What vocally appears on stage touches the edge of a pen and little by little differences, colors and shades infiltrate an empty space on-line. What is performed in one event transforms into multiple others. Space/times -where we all become performers in one way or an/other (Barad 2010). http://
