Canto Ergo Sum

A bizarre, irreverent and messy character, tired of a daily routine in which he does not feel understood, decides to close contact with Earth and set off on a lonely journey exploring the universe.

Aboard his spaceship, he transports us to his inner world with a comedy that amuses and excites, making us think through laughter on the theme of loneliness. But the real star of this story is the voice.

Voice as virtuosity, voice as a musical instrument, voice as storytelling. Music, noises and sounds are made solely by the performer.

Quotes from classical and contemporary songs give life to this “raccAntata” story, in which the actress takes advantage of the loop station to record different sounds live and overlay them on top of each other until she creates a kind of vocal orchestra.
