Silvia Rosani and Esther Saladin will present some of the aspects of the project
White Masks is a project which revolves around a cycle for cello, live electronics and resonating masks and that focusses on loss. The project originated from the collaboration between composer Silvia Rosani and cellist Esther Saladin. In particular, it refers to the loss people have to face alone in an increasingly individualistic society and the loss of communities and music traditions refugees go through when they are forced to leave their countries. The idea of the artists is to build a community in the form of objects resonating with 'memories' from the performance of the cycle, entangled with pre-recorded texts from Frantz Fanon, Samuel Beckett, Hans-Peter Du?rr and Hilde Domin, and the audio contributions collected from the audiences with which the project will get in contact. An installation precedes the performance of the cycle and is going to be set up in the Great Hall so that audio contribution from the audience can be recorded.
These contributions will be integrated in a future performance of the project, so that the masks will resonate with the voices of local communities from each of the places where the project has been performed, hence transforming into a virtual community.
