With the participation of singers:
Laura Copiello (mezzo soprano) - transmitted from Padova, Italy
Erik Drescher (flute player, performer) transmitted from Angers, France
Anja Dreischmeier (actress, soprano), transmitted from Berlin
Peter Kubik (bariton), transmitted from Hannover, Germany
Laura Mello (composer, performer) transmitted from Vienna, Austria
Ina Viola (artist) transmitted from Berlin, Germany
Based on musical scores by Jeremy Woodruff
Two singers skype into the showroom. They are connected via two different Skype accounts and see their counterpart via the projected image, captured by each camera eye. The performers were given a score with the part to be sung from a short opera fragment, which emanates from speech logs from a participatory observation at the preview of the Biennale di Venezia in 2009. The artist recorded conversations of the Biennale jet set and worked them into a libretto, which Jeremy Woodruff set to music. The resulting scores were based on the speech act re-enactment.
