Performance by Lolo & Sosaku.
Commissioned by the Festival d’Automne à Paris. 

La Gaîté Lyrique and le Festival d’Automne à Paris present this production as a co-production.

With the support of

la Fondation pour l’Étude de la Langue et de la Civilisation Japonaises.

The sound-based art of Lolo & Sosaku throws the limits of the different artistic disciplines and time into disarray. It makes its way into their confines, giving life to a priori inanimate objects and reveals them: machines, bits of metal welded together, cables, circuits and other discarded elements of industrial material. Each of their performances opens up a space in which the invisible takes shape, as in a ritual.

 

Lolo & Sosaku, one from Buenos Aires, the other from Tokyo, is an artist duo based in Barcelona. With their sensitivity to energy and the hidden forces which govern our lives in the technological era, their works generate situations of tension, contact, friction, and emergence between the human and non-human. Sound, of the electronic kind, occupies an important place, at the crossroads between painting, sculpture, installation and kinetic art, summoning the different senses of the listener, as well as their imagination. It results in a sense of wonder, almost like that of a child faced with an object that they are unable to master. Here, it is not a question of malice, or mischief, but rather that of a profound love for their world. Indissociable, and inhabiting the same space, noise, on this occasion of the extreme kind, and silence, none the lesser, constitute two extremities and join each other as if in a fold. Also, in the spiritual, mystical experience of the performance, sound passes right through us, emptying us, thereby enabling us to reach another understanding of what surrounds us.
