ostinato [audio visual performance] 1080p

OSTINATO Thiasos butoh Audio-visual performance based on the method of musical and artistic composition “ostinato“, that interprets the repeated repetition of a melodic phrase, rhythmic figure or harmonic turn. Performance can be considered as a reflection on the events happening to us nowadays. The space for creating a work becomes an old Stepan Razin factory in industrial area of Saint Petersburg. Performers use the actual attributes of our reality, familiar during pandemic to everyone-masks, signal tapes, form of communication in online broadcast. They capture the experience of events through the prism of artistic perception, combining music, choreography, vocal improvisation and creating a media sculpture on the ruins of the past.
