Documentary video of a performance that took place at the Arquipélago’s blackbox. This show, defined by the artist-musician as a ‘concert-installation for cello, electronics, audio-feedback, resonant objects and multichannel broadcasting system’, was the result of a challenge on the part of Encontros Sonoros Atlânticos 2022.
The Parliament of Charybdis IV is a music and installation project that started in 2021 and is now in its fourth iteration. Rescuing the image of Charybdis (mythological figure whose stormy and threatening force, in the form of a maritime whirlpool, swallowed everything that approached it), this parliament constitutes itself as a poetic territory that is dedicated to exploring the inherent forces of construction and destruction to places of collective interaction. This presentation continues a narrative with multiple resonances and formal and conceptual developments. Started with a flight over the ruin of a threshing floor (an ancestral space for work and community meetings), the Parliament of Charybdis now summons the power of insularity for the sound and spatial design of this concert-installation.
