On the occasion of Pier Paolo Pasolini's 100th birthday, Stefano Gervasoni and Paolo Pachini search in images and sounds for the heart of Pasolini's vision, for human authenticity between barbarism and civilisation. With this homage, PHACE launches into new vocal-instrumental spheres that span the arc from the Renaissance to the vocal acrobatic miniature dramas of György Ligeti – the second jubilarian. With Ligeti, PHACE continues the discourse on vocal-instrumental expression opened by Pasolini – the voice moves away from the level of meaning to the labyrinthine interweaving of imaginary actions and exaggerated emotions. Between these programme points, new spaces open up: contours dissolve, sounds rub, pulsate, flicker, dissolve, are torn apart. A view from a distance into the microscopic world of sound, into its graininess, fragility and silence.
