Vocis – For Eyes To Hear

WITH Carla Piris
Support Teatre Principal - February 9 to 19
The v o i c e travels inside and outside the confines of the body.

The v o i c e travels inside and outside the confines of the body. It vibrates and resonates in the cavities beneath the ribs and in the walls of a cave. Through movement, body and voice traverse space along different paths, at different speeds, discovering all the corners they inhabit.

Vocis – For Eyes to Hear explores how, through the movement of voice and body, we can visit both the places we inhabit and those that inhabit us. On one hand, the place we inhabit now, this room, its dimensions and shapes, the present time that passes within it, filling it with vibration. And on the other hand, all the places that inhabit us—physical memories that our body and voice carry, like a memory. Another place and another time; a gesture of the hand inherited from the grandmother or the cry of a lost child. Places we can invoke when observing the physical relationship between the body and the voice, allowing it to express itself free from codes, identity, and rational thought.

Vocis – For Eyes to Hear is an immersive experience that takes us on a poetic, visual, and auditory journey. A piece that invites the awakening of a new perception.

Carla Piris

Carla Piris graduated from the Professional Dance Conservatory of the Institute of Theatre in Barcelona and holds a postgraduate degree in choreography from SEAD (Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance) in Salzburg, Austria.
In 2017, alongside her training as a performer, her interest in creation led her to delve into the world of choreography. She began by exploring dance-theater, creating several short pieces for both street and stage performances, with which she toured different theaters and festivals in Catalonia. Later, in 2021, during her time in Salzburg, she premiered two large-scale pieces: The Longing of the Lost Whole and Where They Met, the latter being a collaboration with filmmaker Nil Manrique, with whom she explored the possibilities of relationship and interaction between cinema and stage performance. In 2022, she collaborated as a performer with the Swedish company Byström Källblad in the piece "City Horses", while working as a choreography assistant for the Wonderground Company, collaborating on the pieces Rise, After the Rain, and Momentum.
Currently, interested in the relationship between body and voice, she is working on her own project Vocis – For Eyes to Hear as director and choreographer. At the same time, she works as a performer with Mallorcan artist Magdalena Garzón, dancing in the pieces Altars Profans, Verònica, and Vetlla, and as a dramaturg for circus artist Alexandre Duran and Italian dancer Blanca Lo Verde.
