Wojtek Blecharz "Body-Opera" 1

Body-Opera 1 is the third opera-installation composed and directed by Blecharz, which challenges the habits and perception of a listener/viewer, and places the audience in a new performance situation. Body-Opera 1 addresses the issues of senses in relation to the physicality of sound, but also refers to how cultural institutions are limiting listener’s perception by cultivating the same models of experiencing music based on sitting, listening and watching. Perception is embodied; we do not experience music as an abstract intellectual process through our brains, ears and eyes only. Sound is a frequency, a vibration, and a very dynamic material, which can “touch” our senses or emotions as well as the bodies. Body-Opera 1 is dedicated to the audience; it explores the relationships between the human body and the sound and reminds the participant about the physical nature of the main element of music. Body-Opera is composed for a dancer (Karol Tymiński), double bass (Beltane Ruiz Molina), percussion (Alexandre Babel), but most importantly for 100 transducer speakers, which are hidden in pillows, arranged on 100 mats on which the audience shall sit or lay down during the performance (Ewa Maria-Śmigielska: stage set). Transducer speakers not only project sound, but also vibrate with specific frequencies, thus it allows feeling the sound in a very immersive way. Sounds come from instruments, speakers and transducer speakers, from outside and inside of our bodies.
