ULTRACORPI nomadic identity
A project for Performance Art TV
by Francesca Fini
With Giulio Bianchini and Pablita Loca
Live from the MAAM MUSEUM of Rome
Real-time music from Kolkata, by Varun Desai and Pradip Chattopadhyay, in collaboration with Culture Monks.
LIVE ON: https://www.facebook.com/performancearttv/
“Ultracorpi” (Ultra-bodies) is a performance on male and female identity, but also simply on the identity of the actor, as the bearer of a “repertoire of fives” that are not re-cited, as Carmelo Well would say – because to re-cite is to cite someone Other – but lived on their own skin. The performer is an ultra-body, a fluid, elusive identity, always nomadic and migrant.
The Ultracorpi performance, which will take place in the significant frame of the MAAM Museum, will utilize Facebook Live technology and live streaming in VR (Virtual Reality) thanks to a special 360° camcorder.
The audience will then observe the performance navigating in the real / virtual space in which it takes place, choosing a personal point of view, in a revolutionary reversal of the relationship between the spectator and the show. In addition, on the Facebook page of Performance Art TV, three different streams will be released simultaneously: a classic view of the medium field action, an interactive 360 ° view, and a special streaming from Kolkata, India, where two musicians will interact real-time with the performance.
In fact, this performance plays on the theme of identity on multiple levels of reading, creating a kind of virtual twinning, a space wormhole that will connect Rome and Kolkata, in collaboration with Culture Monks association.
In fact, artists Varun Desai and Pradip Chattopadhyay will watch the live VR performance with two Oculus headsets, and will play real-time music on the images they are watching, giving voice to the two performers. Music will be then retransmitted live at the venue where the performance takes place.
