Trancecorporeal – performance by cosmic swarm and live set by Luna Lias
Esprit Nouveau, Piazza della Costituzione
On Friday, July 4 at 6:30 PM, the performance Trancecorporeal by cosmic swarm will take place at Esprit Nouveau, followed by a live set by Luna Lias from 9 PM to 11 PM.
Trancecorporeal is a participatory hydrofeminist liturgy: tactile, sonic, sensory. It aims to recognize, channel, and visualize the watery transits that enable both the regeneration and the intoxication of bodies. The ritual involves gathering around ice as one might around fire, a transforming beverage, olfactory stimuli, and a soundscape narrated by a tide. Pleasure, slowness, and deep listening emerge as somatic and imaginative tools of resistance to navigate the human and more-than-human habitability of sensory and climate crises.
Afterwards, Luna Lias’s live set will explore the tension between the cold, mechanical sounds of electronic production and the warm, enveloping textures of distorted and fragmented guitars, with influences ranging from industrial, power electronics, bass music, noise rock, to drone ambient.
Free entry.
The event is part of the Terrapolis – Transversal Worlds, Posthuman Futures series and is hosted within CLOSER – Becoming the City, curated by Adiacenze.
