Oratory

Anna Oankova, Bulgaria

Oratoria is a contemporary performance that creates a neo-dramaturgy consisting of music articulations based on variety of genres ranging from opera to trash and hardcore by using only the intonation and sound extraction. It choreographs a contemporary dance from the gestures we use while speaking. The project traces human verbal development solely through the non-rational, automatic and affective aspects of speech - intonation (music) and gesture (dance). Thus Oratoria "reconstructs" a universal "authentic" proto-language, that everyone can understand, and opens up a space for research into the causes and the functions of speech as a human phenomenon.
