Mother Tongue
Lucía García Pullés

Mother Tongue is a solo about my tongue. A troubled tongue that mixes the need to survive with the fear of disappearing.
Mother Tongue is a duet between my voice and its echo. A sound that insists on resisting.
Mother Tongue is an in-between being. A fiction that defends multiplicity and transformation as a force of existence.

This project stems from a memory of feminist protest, a present of immigration and the desire for a future that will allow us to inhabit the edges. A performance that superimposes personal memory with the present and the desire for a future open to listening. The sonic and musical journey of Mother Tongue, worked in close collaboration with Aria Seashel Delacelle, allows us to feel the echo of voices. A depersonalization that becomes both time and space. What forms and voices are listened to?

This work shares a reading of the transformation of sound and physical gesture through repetition, saturation and insistence; weaving in a resonance of struggles.

Aria Delacelle
After a three-year training course in sound engineering, Aria joined Ircam as a sound assistant, enabling her to deepen her knowledge of sound engineering and open up to new artistic and technological horizons. She soon moved into live performance, where her knowledge of mixed music enabled her to try her hand at sound design, working alongside Volmir Cordeiro, Marine Colard, Michel Cerda, Muriel Coulin, Martine Pisani, Lena Paugam and Bryan Campbell. She also composes electronic music under the name Aria Seashell, and is involved in a number of techno projects. Mixing influences from techno and mixed music is an important part of her work as a sound designer. She also questions the relationship between the stage and sound, exploring the transformation of sound materials and the relationship between space and time.
