O. Lab: Sonorous Breathing (Trasforma) is a performance featuring a singer/performer whose movements determine the sonority of her breathing and vocal emission, as well as the dynamics of visual effects. In this work, Janneke van der Putten takes you on a journey of vocal sounds and shimmering lights, an invitation to participate generously in the physicality of the scene. Within her actions, a constant metamorphosis takes place: from bird to bear, from male to female. Fuelled by her vocal acrobatics, Riccardo Santalucia’s lighting design expands the performer’s body and paints an interactive scenography, a cosmos made of refractions of light.

Research question: How can the visual rhythm of moving light reflections work as scenography and as visualisation of the performer’s physicality and sonic intensity?
