Auditorium Melotti
Birdsong
Associated artist | Co-production Oriente Occidente | National premiere
In the Mediterranean basin, sound codes used as bird-calling techniques have been handed down since ancient times, moving between popular tradition and hunting practice. A “non-human” language articulated by phonemes and verses that compose the sound with the modulation of the voice alone or with the use of ancient whistles. Birdsong involves the bodies and voices of two performers in a research on a halfway language, passed down orally, which in the desire to lose its predatory functions becomes the possibility of investigation between human and non-human, a means of connection with elsewhere and the invisible.
Lombardo seems to affirm that what matters most is starting over, trying again, exploring the things of the world again.
