Rui Costa presented last October, 4th 2007 at EME 07, a Festival of Experimental music held in Palmela, Portugal, the first installment of ‘La Scatola’, an intermedia project developed along with the italian vocal performer Manuela Barile.
‘La Scatola’ explores the notion of confinement using multiple approaches and works on the border zone between the ‘I’ and the outside world and will be materialized in several ways, according to the spatial context where it will be presented and the collaboration with artists of several areas. Artists such as Maile Colbert and Pablo Rega, and the theoricist Bojana Bauer will join the authors either in live performances or during the art residencies where the project will be developed.
