Hoge Ogen: Tectonics / Always on the Road (Double Bill)

Double Bill: Ciro Monoarfa Goudsmit / Halil Çikmazkara Click here to read this page in English Tectonics is a research project focused on synchronizing the human body with the earth. Step into an experience of vibration and sound that will unveil the latest insights in this ongoing exploration. New Maker Ciro Monoarfa Goudsmit uses sounddesign, physical frequencies and rhythm to explore tectonic plates, where landslides and volcanic eruptions are understood as responses of planet earth to exhaustion. A response to the enduring extraction, for example due to gas extraction or oil drilling. What mythologies emerge from this response? And how can humans learn to deepen their listening to the underlying rhythm? Ciro Monoarfa Goudsmit, is an artist with a fascination for vibrations. Their background in club and street styles forms the starting point, followed by an exploration of the impact of sound on the body as a choreographic aid. Central to the work is the discovery of a personal rhythm, increasing the body’s sensitivity to drum patterns and physical vibrations. Tectonics is part of a larger research trajectory in which Ciro focuses on synthesis and sound design as choreographic tools, in relation to Dutch and Indonesian myths embedded in the earth, alongside a long-term investigation into the healing properties of frequency. Earlier explorations of this theme took shape in works such as Sonic Portals, which imagines an alternative future through DIY instruments, including a very large spring. Tung! delves into polyrhythms, the Ciro Monoarfa Goudsmit explores frequencies in their artistic practice as a physical, emotional and material phenomenon. This research originates in experiences with therapy, meditation and decolonization, in which bodily vibrations were experienced as forms of emotional release
