Music: Luciana Perc

This work is a musical response to the short film Film (Samuel Beckett, Buster Keaton). The objects featured in Film are examined through sound-making physical actions while exploring interactions with cameras in performance, projecting live video on stage onto which live electronics and audio and video samples are superimposed. Each solo number focuses on a specific combination of objects featured in the short-film, from a newspaper and a hat to a fish tank and a bird cage. This vocal and electroacoustic work addresses the phenomenological enquiry around perception and self-awareness explored through the figure of the doppelgänger in Film, transposed to our daily interaction with cameras over the pandemic.
