Corpo, Carne e Espírito (world premiere)
Teatro Klauss Vianna/Oi Futuro
27/06 – 19h 28/06 – 17h 29/06 – 20h
The digital oratorio Corpo, Carne e Espírito (Body, Flesh and Spirit), created by Johannes Birringer (digital choreography) and Paulo C. Chagas (music), premieres at the 9th International Theatre Festival of Belo Horizonte (Brasil) on June 27-29, 2008, featuring an ensemble of musicians and vocalists, and a triptych of film projections and animations inspired by the figural paintings of Francis Bacon. The work investigates the invisible forces of the human body in the contexts of new music composition (electronic and acoustic), interactive technology, and immersive environments.
The music for this audiovisual work was composed by Paulo C. Chagas, inspired by the paintings of bodily deformations and anamorphoses in Bacon's oeuvre. It features three voices (soprano, counter-tenor, baritone), string quartet, percussion and electronic sounds that are integrated in the visual and performance environment designed by Johannes Birringer. The oratorio is conducted by Mr Chagas; live programming of the image movements, projected onto a curved triptych of screens upstage behind the musicians, is performed by Mr. Birringer.
The compositional plan for this performance of Corpo, Carne e Espírito was developed at the International Interaktionslabor, the annual media lab directed by Birringer in Göttelborn, Germany, since 2003 (http://interaktionslabor.de). During their residency at FIT Theatre Festival, Mr Birringer and Mr Chagas will conduct workshops in composition and digital performance. The oratorio will tour European venues in 2009.

you will be pleased to hear that our last concert (Friday night) of showing Suna no Onna was very wonderful, i think the piece has grown and improved, and we felt it was visually so much stronger, as were the performances and the lighting/colors. We are all quite pleased. see our gallery:
