Abstract
"On the String is a performance about the String Theory, a speculative theory of space, matter, energy and time, based on tiny one-dimensional vibrating entities. What is we could hear the sounds of elementary particles? Or the sonic texture created by various vibration patterns of a string curving space? Or the harmonic colour sparked by string interaction? Exploring metaphorically the musical, visual and theatrical side of the teory, this is a composition where three musicians excite and manipulate a strong scupture-installation through choreographed movements"--Back of container.
