Noise under the Umbrella

A rainy autumn day in 2022 Agota Tamelyte and Xico Ribas left the house with 3 umbrellas in their hands (just in case). Wondering through the noisy streets of Amsterdam, they obsessed themselves
with a distressful search for something, but nothing in particular.
Hours passed by...
A Few pigeons squeaked, one tire popped, an old man coughed. Water babbled in the canals, church bells chimed at 12.59, cars honked and clocks ticked.
Hours passed by...
A high-heeled lady click-clacked along the street. In the cafe a couple argued whose turn is to take the dog out for a walk. Xico suggested to flip a coin.
Hours passed by...
And the wind grabbed one of the umbrellas and blew it to Filmhuis Cavia.

Noise under the Umbrella' is an audiovisual and interactive experience in which Agota Tamelyte and Xico Ribas invite the audience to metamorphose into a rainy story in Amsterdam.
With the help of live-cams, clocks, synthesizers, telephones, harmonicas, metal chunks, umbrellas and other 'noisy' objects (the help of audience will be a must as well) they'll 'perform' a 40 min improvisation on the spot, aspiring to raise the awareness and perhaps even appreciation towards all kinds of noise surrounding on daily human life.

MEA+Megan Brailey

MEA is a Filippo Gillono experimental project where the use of the body of the acoustic guitar as a resonating space is the main focus, through a conscious use of the feedback and field recordings the sound reaches a break oniric drone texture.
Megan Brailey is a Berlin-based interdisciplinary performance artist: their work spans butoh theatre-dance and contemporary dance; immersive theatre and acting; and performance and installation art. Within butoh practice, they are particularly interested in the use of props or materials and durational practices to alter bodily perception; the exploration of sexuality and non-confirmative bodily movements and symbologies; and creating visual compositions with bodies in space.
