Notes for performance

There are four musicians in a room playing music. Each one has a lamp. Besides the music, the performers “play” the lights on and off during the piece creating different scenes. The space of the stage is always changing  because of the lights.

This music suggests a counterpoint of different layers: the rhythm of the music, the rhythm of the lights, the rhythm of the room…

There are spaces to be seen, spaces to be heard, spaces to be imagined. Some music is played in the light, but also there is other music coming from the dark in a room full of presences.
