Pia Mačerol: Exquisite Corpse Part 2. – presentation

She views silence as a challenge that propels her—almost like a throw—into space. There, she engages with the exploration of physically sounding capabilities of her body. She investigates how different physical proposals generate a variety of sounds, spoken and unspoken voices—and vice versa. One of her research approaches involves placing her body—or specific parts of it—in relation to spatial surfaces and everyday objects that she introduces into the space.
The research will be conducted in collaboration with director Bor Ravbar.

She develops her performative language through (structured) improvisation, currently focusing on repetition and bypassing, which gradually become perceptible through the persistence of time.
