On the road again, this time, I hope, in the right way.

If my work this year could be described as an object I would say it is a pendulum. In the begining it was a fixed idea of using poetry and image in translation, translating words, experimenting the usage of a different language to build the same images, the same multiple images contained in one word through visuals, through colours and shapes. Then in an attempt to find something new, different from my old work I came close to abandon the images which were not contained within the variety of textual elements. For a while it was all about reinforcing the visuals of graphic text and pointing at the rich surface of the verbal language... and this shift marked my difficulty in finding a focus, so I was thrown by questions into extreme and different directions.
Now,
I hope to have settled in the middle, basing my research on the usage of language in performance. The use of verbal language as a tool and how it can interact with images to be yet more powerful. I am not abandoning any of my previous questions, in my research I intend to embrace them.

For my final performance I have been thinking of bringing out the invisible. To express, through the use of language, places not as they are seen but for what they communicate through the smells, the movement of people, the links between them, the beliefs of those who inhabit the place. The idea of capturing the invisible manifestation of a place and translating it into words and images is the starting point of the final performance, it is as the first note to a music, from where all rhythm, texture and sequence of sounds will derive, and it is based in the invisible cities. The final performance will be an encounter and through this encounter I hope to let my reserch questions flow, find their forms and shapes and spill onto the audience as a river would.
