Paper long abstract:

Video art & experimental music | “Transmutation – The beating of the last looms | part 1”, conscience is a spectacle of social conscience about the disappearance of manual weaving in Alentejo and the last weavers who are still working.

Through a composition produced by the experimentalist musician “André André”, accompanied by video, we will be able to identify the key moments of the creative process during sound pickup and the different “cadences” of each instrument of textile production, as well as the interaction between the musician, the look of the director João Meirinhos and the last weavers and spinners. The show will be presented on August 20 in Évora.

Audiovisual live premiere can be performed live once again:
