Flesh and Sound is a gesture of courage, effort and complicity. Stemming from the fundamental question: how do we listen?, this duet showcases a collection of handmade ancestral instruments from Mexico which are digitally amplified by an enveloping sound design and paired with contemporary instruments. Deeply connected, the two performers produce a simultaneous, live musical and choreographic score. Physical and sonic vibrations build a bridge across time, evoking imagery from pre-Hispanic cosmology and awakening an awareness that pulsates in the present moment. 

This dance performance/concert hybrid is preceded by an interactive installation that fosters a sense of attentiveness and contemplation in the viewer. Light reflections, textures and sonic landscapes create a calming, yet stimulating space, somewhere between a dark cave and an infinite galaxy.

*Note: The performance and the installation can be presented together or as separate pieces. A reduced version of the installation is also possible depending on the venue.
