Ex Pharao

Cod.Act propone una reescritura de la ópera Moisés y Aron de Arnold Schönberg en forma de una nueva obra orquestal en la que la lírica y la dramática son parámetros que se pueden modificar en tiempo real, a través de un aparato mecánico compuesto por cables y palancas hidráulicas. Al manipular el dispositivo, el visitante se convierte en director y actor.

The installation consists in a corridor delimited by two parallel cables. The different scenes of the opera follow each other along this corridor. The extremities of the two cables command the rotation of two structures fitted each with a loudspeaker. They represent Moses and Aaron. By entering in the corridor, the visitor faces the two prophets. By pressing on the cables, he modifies various sound parameters and thus acts on the expressivity of the orchestra and the choir. The visitor progresses along the corridor, the voices of Moses and Aaron intrude, speaking through raised loudspeakers, the cables become taut, the visitor is cut short.
