[Testo disponibile solo in inglese] Carrying out improvised transfiguration on the first photographs and recorded music of the Arab world - a selection taken from the archives of the Arab Image Foundation and the AMAR Foundation in Lebanon- a different journey is proposed to the spectator at each performance.
Strange Land is an AV performance that examines the foundation of memory through the associations, impressions and paradigms of recording. It is an exploration of the recording as a trace and as sonic material that will be transformed and reinterpreted by means of analog, acoustic and digital methods. Strange Land also aims to inquire the structures of colonial domination at work during most of the 20th century in a fluctuating back and forth between strangulations and escapes, shadow and light, dissonance and harmony.
It is the history of the Middle Eastern region and its modernization that is told and questioned.
