Dedicated to sound and listening, the Triennale creates a space for a wide range of sonic practices without restricting them by institutional boundaries. Over the course of two months, Rites of Eternal Wind will host sound installations and live events, listening sessions and soundwalks, hybrid lectures, discussions and workshops, somatic performances and explorations of sonic rituals and environments where sound is absent or even impossible.
To conclude the first weekend of the Rites of Eternal Wind concert program, another premiere will take place — a large-scale solo performance by Jazgul Madazimova, one of the key figures in contemporary conceptual art from Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia more broadly. Without revealing all the details in order to preserve an element of surprise, it is worth highlighting the work’s sonic dimension. During The Rite of the Fallen Mountain, the audience will hear what is usually removed from recordings of staged performances: labored breathing, the cracking of joints and ligaments, footsteps, and other natural sounds produced by the human body in the course of intense physical effort.
