I broke the vase / Luciana Rizzo
I broke the vase (Eva Matsigkou, Nefeli Sani) will present excerpts from their diary and correspondence with friends they made on a distant journey. In this performance, they will play live music along with recordings, images, and videos, in an attempt to reconnect with this past experience.
Luciana Rizzo (Argentina) presents a solo set that consists of little bells, jingles, and feedback produced using the drum bodies as resonant membranes. It is an acoustic set aiming to broaden the audience’s listening experience.
I broke the vase were formed in 2018. They create musical performances through listening, free improvisation and composition. They use musical instruments, their voices, objects, microphones, electronics, recordings and loops. Writing and reading of autoethnographic texts, participation of the body, as well as interaction with the space and the environment lie at the center of their work. Being also musicologists and sound researchers, apart from performers, they employ practices such as soundwalks and recordings of listening experiences, while experimenting through feminist and caring artistic processes. Moreover, I broke the vase have created video performances, the experimental film The Greatest Love of All,and a podcast dedicated to the women in electronic music, entitled Silence is Broken. They have also coordinated the workshop Sonic Memorabilia and the awarded by Thessaloniki Film Festival podcast by the same name. They have been artists in residence at Syros Sound Meetings and in University of Michigan. They participated in Tectonics Athens Festival, in Electric Nights Festival, in Eclectic Tech Carnival Athens, in IF 2021, in Κilymeia 23, in Ametric Festival and also in Plásmata: Bodies, Dreams, and Data, Sheltered Gardens and Down to Earth exhibitions and in 2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture.
