Live Performance

Elvira

Silvia Cignoli (voice, electric guitar), Federica Foglia (Visual)
Produced by AAMOD – Audiovisual Archive of Democratic and Labour Movement in partnership with CSC – Cineteca Nazionale with the sustain of Comitato Nazionale per le celebrazioni del 150° anniversario dalla nascita di Elvira Coda Notari


Visual artist Federica Foglia interweaves fragments of Elvira Notari’s production with orphan films, home movies and images from her own filmography, creating a cinematic collage that spans time and geography. In dialogue with these images, musician Silvia Cignoli performs live a score for electric guitar, electronics and voice, evoking and transforming the emotional universe of Notari’s cinema. Between historical memory and critical fabulation, the performance restores a sensitive and contemporary presence to the figure of the Neapolitan director, questioning the relationship between archive, loss and survival of images over time.


LIVE ALCAZAR – May 29, 10 p.m.

She works on various site-specific and cross-media projects and her activity in image-related music is intense, including as a composer of soundtracks
