The curtain closes, the piece begins. In a poetic performance, Lara Dâmaso explores the relationship between body and sound. Situated between ballet, opera, choreography, singing, arrangement and improvisation, she and performer Tarren Johnson interact with the music by Ludwig Abraham, letting it unfold live on stage with the tones of their voices and the sounds of their movements.
Anne Carson, in her text The gender of sound (1995), points to the centuries of historical oppression of women's voices that found aesthetic forms and formats in the arts. Dâmaso and Johnson counter this silence with the movement of body and voice, unleashing their aesthetic-political potential with the dissonant composition. Between the Veils breaks with the conventions of classical dance and vocals, and uncovers what lies beyond.
