V\u00edas\u2019 Flesh and Sound<\/strong><\/span> challenges how live art engages the audience. This two-part performance begins with an interactive installation in the gallery conceived by Siam Obreg\u00f3n<\/span><\/strong>, aimed at fostering a sense of attentiveness and contemplation in the viewer before transitioning into the performance in the theatre. This installation provides a unique opportunity for spectators to delve into the sounds that will later envelop them in the performance, offering a space for exploration, discovery, and reflection.<\/p>\n

Following the installation, the theatre performance by Paco Ziel<\/span><\/strong> and Bernardo Alvarado Rojas<\/span><\/strong> features a rotating cast, ensuring a different perspective each night. Utilizing a 360-degree sound design, the performers elicit movement through reactions, disruptions, and amplifications. The choreography and sonic composition are intricately intertwined, drawing inspiration from creatures rooted in Mexican pre-Hispanic cosmology, bridging the past with the present. By integrating the study of pre-Hispanic instruments with contemporary technology and incorporating kinetic and acoustic vibrations from the human body, this performance invites the audience to break away from Western conventions of sound analysis, perception, and emotional resonance, posing a fundamental question: “How do you listen?”<\/p>\n

The Flesh and Sound installation in the MAI gallery will be open to the public from 12pm to 6pm, from Wednesday November 8th to Saturday November 11th, 2023.<\/p>\n
