PERFORMANCE | MUSIC | FIRST STUDY
‘Cartoline’ is a musical live set for tapes and live electronics written and performed by Francesco Leineri: an experiment in collective playwriting and sound design, focusing the short-circuit between death and life. The first study comes out of a series of anonymous audio interviews talking about these topics, linked to a performance/musical live set of electronic music. ‘Cartoline’ reflects on the idea of representation, on an artistic dimension between absence and here-and-now, and on a specific idea of chorus: a cluster of voices from the past and a shared collective memory. What do we have left in our present?
