Imatge inicial

New 15-minute audiovisual work created for Morphosis Ensemble for baritone saxophone (Joan Marti Frasquier), actress (Amandine Audinot), Joan Bagés (electronic music), under the direction of stage director Edgar Alemany. The impossibility of regular physical contact has conditioned the process of creating this work that wants to explore the corporeality. How can we approach the perception of the human body? How will we now live corporeality? The pandemic situation has conditioned and imposed a virtual residence between the members. This work emerges from this global situation and that takes virtual form where three bodies appears on the screen divided into three windows that they communicate.

Tatiana tells us: "In my works I am interested in activating different types of perception of the human body in the following way: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, which coexist in nature as an ideal of human existence. Therefore, I am interested in combining and activating different types of art as different organs of the human body, which are also activated to experience more fully the idea of ​​existence. Speaking of the material, working with the ear as one of the senses, I am interested in going back to the primitive origins of the human being, rethinking them and examining human evolution, embraces the "primitively undefined" sound as a naked and truly honest sound that I accept as an incomparable beauty."
