Voce dal sén fuggita. Percorsi analogico-digitali della voce nel teatro contemporaneo

The research investigates the relationship between the contemporary theatre scene and technologies of voice capture, manipulation and reproduction. The amplified voice, as a performing subject of scenic writing, offers various insights for thought today. The reflection on the different nature of the codes - in particular on the acousmatic codes voice/ sound and their close interrelation with the perceptive dynamics of the part co-constituting the spectacular event - opens a vast horizon of investigation. If we look at the incidence and impact that sound and amplified voice produce in the contemporary theatre scene, we can see that these codes, through and thanks to the developments produced by the digital revolution, have taken on a new and different connotation, a specific weight that leads to the idea of a representative mode that crosses the border of synesthesia and that can be able to question the unidirectionality of the senses. What we propose to investigate is the now openly structured relationship between performance and the techniques of amplification and digital manipulation of the voice and how much this strong interrelation produces on the strictly interpretative/communicative level. Today, after the birth and progressive rooting of amplification systems and technologies and their direct applications in the field of phonological experimentation, new trajectories, all parallel and compliant in the direction, clearly open up, namely directed to the unveiling of a further scenic dramaturgy, a desirable new code: the amplified voice.
