The new work for the group is a collaboration with the duo Sigourney Weaver (Biagio Caravano and Daniela Cattivelli) and proposes a series of songs created to offer a pure serenity discursive landscape, crossed by the postures of bodies placed in front of a microphone, bodies in ‘moment of the word taken, in the moment of the movement. The access to the meeting as a discourse. And singing. All that is in space is intersected and overlapped, and said exposed. Points are created by the report and the abundance., By a sense of rounding of the conversation that oddly seems to refer to the curvature of the earth. We live on a globe, but not inside it. E ‘need to move constantly and take the word everywhere.
