In her performance, Berlin-born artist Deva Schubert allows two bodies and two voices to drift into a semantic collapse. missed tones (in the corridor) stages communication as something that is perpetually on the threshold of coherence. In a hiccup, a stutter or a melody that arises only through the interplay of two voices, Schubert discovers a choreography of relationship in which connection is fragile and surprising. Schubert’s new piece is conceived as a score for voice and body for two performers, created for the Ringgalerie of the Salzburger Kunstverein. The performance begins with a sound somewhere further away, around a corner, slightly outside the field of vision. At its core, the performance poses the question: how can illegibility be created through the voice? The vocal material oscillates between the technical and the animalistic, the mechanical and the otherworldly. Clicking sounds, breathing noises, glottal interruptions, tonal fragments, pulses reminiscent of faulty systems or non-human cries.
