Disruptive, controversial, feral; ‘Containers:’ aims to investigate the interconnection between domestic violence and sexual assault in modern life. The event is an evocative sensory experience of political nature. From a feminist point of view, it challenges a patriarchal society which directly benefits from violence and abuse. This is a two-part musical event consisting of:
An art installation which may include textile tactile sculptures able to reproduce pre-recorded sounds.
An interdisciplinary performance based on instrumental compositions, original songs and spoken words.
The artists participating are:
Sound art director/performer @bertamusician
Designers @begberdan @richly_dressed
Sound Devices Specialist @emazzolini
AV Technician @9mp9mp
