CORO silenTE/SILENT CHOIR

Audiovisual performance presented at Hika Ateneo, Bilbao, Spain, 2022

It is from silence that sound originates.

The first thing I thought about silence is that it resembled you
                     calm
                     temperance
                     breath

Can the sea be silent?
                 calm
                 temperance
                 breath

The sea breathes
inhales – exhales

We find silence contemplating the sea
We find silence contemplating the sea (?)

                quietness
To sit in front of that continuous horizon
                immense
                horizon
                embraces you
                holds you
                renews itself
                horizons you

                the waves

What is silence?
How many spaces of silence do we have in a day?
If we eliminate all the noise of a day
and remain only with the spaces of silence
how long would our day last?

Our day of silence

What voice does silence have?
What voice does silence have?
What voice does silence have?
What voice does silence have?
What is the voice of this text?
How many voices do these words have?
What rhythm do I give to these words?
What rhythm do we give to these words?

You are reading right now
             giving voice to the word
             producing an echo

A mute echo

Where does this voice sound?
Where do these voices sound?

I am reading these words
Someone beside me is reading these words
I know they are reading these words

I am part of a silent choir
There are voices sounding right now
But I do not hear them
So there is no silence
But I am quiet
But it is sounding
But I am silent
I am listening
Internalizing
Understanding
It sounds without sounding

It sounds without sounding
It sounds
It dreams
Suddenly everything dreams

The first was the word
And what is the word, if not sound?
