Whispers - contemporary dance

Show & Culture

In the near future, humans still speak, publish and express themselves, but no one truly hears anyone anymore. Words still exist, but the voice has disappeared. The world has become incapable of listening. Some people say that voices once travelled freely between human beings, like migratory birds. They were called the Murmures. Giovanni Zazzera performs through an innovative sound device in which dancers generate sounds through contact, making their movements audible in real time as extensions of the body that give voice to the murmures. The piece explores what lies behind our silences: unspoken thoughts, desires for emancipation and invisible forms of resistance that inhabit bodies.
