Punto Zero

Punto Zero | Light and sound live performance



Punto Zero is a lights and spatialised sounds’ performance that traces a circular sign in the area in which it is represented. 
The performance aims at an immersive sensorial experience where the synchronized interaction of light and sound substitutes the environment surrounding the audience. The public stands within a circle composed by 24 lights facing inwards (indoor version) or outwards (outdoor version) and 8 sound sources.
The interaction between light and sound is clearly referable to the perceptive qualities of the sound (such as intensity, position and speed) and it develops from initial simple correlations to complex and structured ones, defining a proper sensorial grammar.
Along this journey defined by the movement of sound and light the immediate surroundings dissolve into the architecture of light surrounding the audience, distorting and reshaping its perception of space.
