MACA LIVE. Aurora Bauzà & Pere Jou

Creation and direction: Aurora Bauzà & Pere Jou Performance and musical composition: Aurora Bauzà & Pere JouExternal eye: Alessandro SciarroniProduction: Ariadna Miquel and Management: Art RepublicAurora Bauzà and Pere Jou are composers, creators and performers at the forefront of the performing arts. Their main research revolves around the human voice and its intricate connections with the body, movement, space, stage and light. Their compositions go beyond the traditional boundaries of artistic genres, treating music as a multidimensional entity with physical, scenic, visual, dramaturgical, expressive and poetic qualities. Their unique artistic approach involves a physical and movement practice that decomposes the resonant movement of sound (singing) from visual movement, creating a distinctive interaction. Choreography, viewed through an acoustic lens, merges fluidly with musical composition, shaping the essence and dramaturgical structure of their interdisciplinary work.I AM (T)HERE is a scenic and musical work that explores the relationship between body and voice. Through the obstinate repetition of a vocal melody, and accompanied by an electronic atmosphere, the performer/singer moves in search of a body emancipated from the voice, breaking with the classical musical tradition in which the body is silenced and subordinated to vocal discourse. I AM (T)HERE seeks a physical and vocal language that proposes new forms of interaction between body and voice. An interdisciplinary, hybrid and transversal language that constructs its own semantics within the body/voice relationship and that does not hierarchize between disciplines of the living arts such as movement and sound. The piece embodies a body trapped between two different dynamics, voice and movement, that evolve in opposite directions, creating a body in tension, a subject in conflict with its own identity.
