Francesca Verunelli presents in Venice the world premiere of Songs&Voices, where she compositionally investigates the absence of singing and the vibrant, colorful silence of the echo of imagined singing. In Five Songs (Kafka’s Sirens) from 2016, her previous work, the driving force behind the instrumental sound research was the presence of singing in the absence of voice, a kind of aporia that, like the paradox in the Bohemian writer’s work, aimed to push back the limits of the “visible” by transporting it from the literal to the instrumental level.
