Programme
to copy the speech without saying it directly (Lottie Sadd, 2021) performed by Lottie Sadd
La Notte (N.O. Moore and Emmanuelle Waeckerlé, 2021) performed by Yifeat Ziv and Emmanuelle Waeckerlé (voice) , N.O. Moore (electronics)
The works address the potential of the voice as sound, and of sound as meaning. The grain of the voice – a cry, shout or song – sets a space of orientation by which meaning becomes possible. Yet, these meanings – and the voiced territory that grounds them – remain contingent, negotiable, welcomed, and misunderstood. The voice consoles and terrifies. (N.O Moore).
Performed at the intersections of the human and technological, and of verbal and non-verbal language, to copy the speech without saying it directly (2021) explores the transformative power that repetition and translation between bodies have on meaning. (Lottie Sadd)
‘La Notte’ is a text score for a work in three movements and the outcome of a collaborative project between N.O. Moore and Emmanuelle Waeckerlé. They have used as a script a short extract from Antonioni’s La Notte (1961), in which Monica Vitti describes feeling disturbed at not being able to control the sounds and words she hears in and around her.
