INFAMIS ARS
New performance production 2027
A physical, material, and sonic performance in which the body becomes living matter, interface, and trace.
Premiere — Teatro Foce, Lugano
April 30 / May 1, 2027
With Lumière / Mattia Cantoni
and Under Changeover
Body / Plastic / UV Light / Friction / Transformation
Body, matter, sound
INFAMIS ARS is a physical, material and sonic performance based on the relationship between body, friction, black water, clay, plastic, UV light and live sound.
Matter is not scenery: it resists, stains, covers, transforms and leaves traces.
The body does not represent transformation.
It crosses it.
Available formats:
Theatrical version — 50 min
Festival version — 30 min
Short version — 20 min
Loop museum installation / performance
Live sound
The sound of INFAMIS ARS is developed with Under Changeover as a sonic and performative co-author.
The composition does not accompany the action: it reacts to matter, movement, breath, fatigue and the instability of the body.
Each performance maintains a recognizable energetic structure, while generating live and unrepeatable variations.
Body → Matter → Sound → Environment
Method of Emotional Matter
The Method of Emotional Matter is a process of performative creation in which the image emerges from the real relationship between body, matter, resistance, fatigue and transformation.
Emotion is not interpreted: it emerges when matter modifies the body and the body undergoes a sensory transformation.
Research
INFAMIS ARS can also develop as an interdisciplinary research project between performance, human–machine interaction and reactive systems.
The body becomes a source of data, matter becomes a possible interface, and sound becomes a sensitive response generated by contact, pressure, breath and movement.
