Sulpicia Mea Vox gives voice to the ancient Roman verses by Sulpicia, the only extant female poet from Roman antiquity. A new performing technique called Real Time Live Cinema (RTLC) [http://vjopie.com/?p=804" target="_blank] engages live video performance, light painting, and music for performers and dancers to give corporal expression to Sulpicia’s verses. These ancient verses set against the background of newtechnologies produce a very poignant experience. The performers are filmed against a green screen and mixed with a video performance software in order to produce the real time live cinema movie.
Sulpicia Mea Vox deconstructs Sulpicia’s forgotten verses using technology to emphasize three predominant traits of today’s society, mediatization, narcisism, and instantaneousness. The public sees mediatized performers whose images are processed by cameras, computers, and projectors. This technique forces performers to behave in a narcisistic fashion as the gaze fixedly the screen. The RTLC movie is an instantaneous product in a society that privilegies immediate delivery and results.
Sulpicia Mea Vox offers, then, a unique combination of elements to rediscover the ancient poet through a technique that calls into question some core values of contemporary society.
Sulpicia Mea Vox has been presented at international venues including the Nuit Blanche Paris 2010 and LPM, Rome.
Direction : Opie Boero Imwinkelried and Anna Ten
