The Magnetic Terrace 2022. Vulnerable Critters| Duration: | 45 minutes |
In Ekomane’s installations and live performances, sound acts as an element that transforms the space and the audience. At La Casa Encendida she will present one of her quadraphonic performances, which seek a cathartic effect through the perception of rhythmic structures and the interchange of noise and melody.
Her ever-changing, immersive soundscapes are grounded in questions such as the relationship between individual perception and collective dynamics or the investigation of listening expectations and their societal roots.
