Bodyscape
Bodyscape is inspired by the body of a dancer as a sonic source. The information is taken via biosensors and microphones, which record movements and events generated by the body. In this ecosystem, the dancer produces sounds, mainly inaudible, which are then amplified and sent back to the performance space, where the dancer interacts with them as biofeedback. The site-specificity of the work relates to the spatial considerations and resonances of the performance space.

Field recordings were collected at the border of Botswana and South Africa. “L’épidemie virale en Afrique du Sud”, a text from the Swiss writer Friedrich Dürrenmatt, informed the journey. The text describes a virus transforming white persons into black persons. A text about privileges.

Small limited vinyl edition with print on archival paper numbered and signed is available on request from december 2020 at www.lucaforcucci.com
