Mani

2010

Performers: Robert Sazdov - laptop and live electronics, Giuseppe Torre - Pointing-at data glove

Brief Description: A duo performance for Pointing-at glove and live electronics. Theme is con- cerned with social inequalities. Mani means hands in Italian but it also sounds like the word ‘money’ in English. Our future is in few people’s hands. Do you feel safe?Technical Description: This performance investigates the use of hand gestures for the creation and manipulation of sounds in real-time for a live performance. Gestures’ vocabu- lary is built according to theatrical features that reconnect to the underlying storyboard presented in the performance. This is done so that the cause- effect links between gestures and sounds can be re-established within a context that helps to classify the gesture in its metaphor- ical context.
