No mixed feelings: spiral downwards joy

Artists: Corinna Brenner, Dalia Maini/DMT, Saverio Cantoni & Stefano “Menion” Ferrari

For No mixed feelings: spiral downwards joy, Saverio Cantoni, Dalia Maini aka DMT and Stefano “Menion” Ferrari form an ensemble of devices, sensibilities, and political consciousness shaped in dissonant frequencies and sonic fabulation, joined by Corinna Brenner interpreting in sign language the spoken words and sonic improvisation. Weaving personal experiences and lived reality, transforming grief into joy through noise, No mixed feelings: spiral downwards joy invites the audience to collectively mourn the debilitation of a liveable world. The collaborative aural performance caters to the relationship between territory, politics, and poetry in a shape-shifting oral-acoustic experience; transitory like improvisational sounding environments, and transtemporal like nocturnal storytelling.
