Paolo Buonvino - Çiatu - Sound installation
Description
The Sicilian composer Paolo Buonvino, known for his film scores, has composed a scenic concerto entitled çiatu (breath), based on the experience of collective breathing as sound and as a living gesture. The project is inspired by Sicilian and Mediterranean culture and by the relationship between the rhythm of human breathing and that of the waves that surround the island. In collaboration with Maria Grazia Chiuri, creative director of the Maison Dior, and the artist Irma Blank, Paolo Buonvino and director Antonello Pocetti have designed a stage structure to contain, protect and accommodate the audience, within which the musicians will create a collective breathing exercise which, with the participation of the audience, will evoke and transcend the experience of suffering and fear that the pandemic has brought to our lives.
