Emilio Parrilla and Guillermo Martin-Viana - Poesía Enlatada

The three objects – metal structures with mechanical parts and contact microphones – together form the basis for sound, image and text. They define the space within which the performers improvise.

The performance uses instructions and motifs to guide the improvisation. These consist of gestures, sounds and words, and are intended for both the performers and the audience.

Examples of these instructions include paying a compliment to a ‘sad’ box or bringing along a pair of clean socks. These playful tasks make the audience part of the performance.
