Oblivion Sonnet
Sound Performance | 2022
Oblivion Sonnet is a multi-sensory stage work that intertwines sound structures with the movement of bodies sculpting together within space and time. Body, object, and sound coexist without hierarchy, sharing a single habitat and functioning as gears in a mechanized stage.
In this environment, a musical-mythological universe takes shape, where time itself decelerates—as if on another planet—slowing to the edge of stillness until the body seems to transform into a statue, and a single moment stretches into eternity. Guided by principles of physics, the piece explores the resonance between presence and absence, as each reverberation expands and dissolves, balancing between the lasting pull of eternity and the fleeting nature of existence.
