Collage de veus: simfonia 4/4

This artistic proposal explores the idea of bringing collage into the realm of performance and vocal expression.

Collage de veus is an artistic experiment that unites people of different generations, life experiences and social backgrounds within a shared performative space and time. Bodies, voices and movement intertwine and enter into dialogue, giving rise to a 44-minute piece that dispenses with narrative and invites us into a field of relational exchange.

What happens when all these voices come together? When seemingly unrelated vocal fragments are woven into a collective, abstract and chance-driven artistic game? Vocal textures, sounds, songs, memories, testimonies, thoughts and gestures converge and interact, creating a singular, strange and unrepeatable composition.

“Collage de veus is a symphonic fragment of human nature expressed through voice. An invitation to imagine, if only for a moment, that we are not so far apart. That our geographies are, in some way, simultaneous, and that humanity is a collective event unfolding all at once.”
