The voice has a unique ability to flow through seemingly contradicting spheres and materials. Eavesdropper intensifies the indeterminacy of the voice by distorting vocal sound with bodily movement. Rhythm, tonality, timbre and spatiality gliding between the irresistible and disturbing evokes a productive uncertainty; bodily and social mechanisms are put into motion, revealing how assumptions about the impure and unstable may serve to maintain social order.
What else is there to discover by moving towards the place where meaning collapses, and in the end losing oneself for a brief moment? In collaboration with composer Ingvild Langgård, Tormod Tora Skår Midtbø has created a convulsive choreography where the acoustic voicebody seeks out other modes of perception, enabling alternative connections between bodies and surroundings. The inside pours out, and the oustide seeps in. Sound dances through space while movement rings in the ears. An ephemeral architecture emerges in the dark, lending support to any attempt at renegotiating the relation between difference and commonality.
