(G)loves for (G)ants – workshop
March 30, 2020 - April 5, 2020
A performative exploration of the dialogue between sound and visual elements based on the project (G)loves for (G)ants
The workshop allows us to broaden our listening of the world around us through a «sound magnifying glass»: the binaural / 3D recording. Participants sketch gestures
and movements that make the gloves vibrate, ring and move, like a ballet of hands, a giant instrument. The listening keys are constructed in relation to an empirical experience and theoretical knowledge is acquired through the playful interaction with music and scenographic elements.

About (G)loves for (G)ants
Sketching 2111, where there are only 26 jobs leftover for the hands of the humans. The (g)love, the most privileged object, invades the spatial-temporal reality: the only one capable of exploring the unknown wor(l)ds of bodies. Infected by the hygienic law, humanity shares the fascination for and dependency to the object that controls & protects their porous skin from the outside: Les (g)ants = the (g)loves in English. (G)ants intrude the skin to transform the gestures of the future jobs. 26 gloves: Aimant (g)loves, BOBO (g)loves, Cornichon (g)loves, D, E,( …) Z
26 gloves
26 miniature performances
