Pornopera (working title)
© Leo Maki
Pornopera (working title) is a concert stripped to its bare core: voice and body. Two singers and an electronic musician confront the audience with the physicality of sound. Early music meets the gaze of the present. What happens when music once meant for God enters the realm of arousal? When divine ecstasy pulses through bodies instead of belief? Performed on the shortest night, as daylight fades and the eye releases, the ear takes over. The audience surrounds the performers. The concert becomes an act of listening and exposure. Of desire, discipline, surrender, held in the grip of the minor second.
