We don't need a body - Musica Sanae 2019

The sound installation for 19 tools age-old surgical tools, 12 speakers, victorian synthesizers poses a question about the physicality of our body in the context of considerations on the first Ionic and Doric philosophical theories based on metaphysics, concerning the problem of the duality of ontological being.

In three consecutive events in Naples, Sokolowsko and Berlin over forty musicians, performers, researchers and theoriests will present their takes on how new ways of hearing produce and underlie our notions of hygiene, health, well-being, progress and sanity. All acts will be hosted by unique venues of which most are of historical importance for medical architecture.
