Lifetime of the Bodies

Lifetime of the Bodies

 

About the Performance 

A free improvisation duet between music and dance, with artists Fernando Oliveira & Lorenzo Buffa.
From the sound of double bass - the lifetime of the instrument, the lifetime of the bodies, the melodies that appear and disappear, the silences, the pauses, the accents, the temperature, the colors, the wood, the audience, all that and even more, they can be material for this duet.

 

It is a performance that shows moments of sharing, creating and improvising music, theater and dance. With the idea of ​​poetic time. As an agreement that it is always the first meeting between the artists on stage. The performance consists of approaching internal elements - feelings and thoughts - and external elements - music as a starting point to create movements that, articulated with each other, make up a unique choreography.

 

The dance need not be repeated exactly as it was conceived. Any relationship with reality will be pure coincidence, never forgetting that fiction exists, because, in one way or another, it breathes real life.

Inspired by the Nocturnes of Chopin his uncle would play for him, and by a mother that would enchant him with the beautiful sound of choirs, he began his musical career at the age of 13. After studying piano along his youth, he would then move to electric bass and the double bass, setting the stage for an adventure that, through a music study in Milan, would bring him to Amsterdam. Here he would get his Bachelor and Master’s degrees in Jazz. The knowledge he acquired throughout the course of his studies would then inspire him to explore different sides and possibilities of music, from multi pieces bands to solo projects.
