Em Rebmemer # Refraction Chamber

This non-performance activates the staircase through a live vocal exchange that unfolds in real time. Rooted in refracted responses, the work explores how language shifts as it passes between bodies and through space. What begins as a simple utterance gradually transforms, producing a chain of sounds that expand, refract, and dissolve.  Against the historical backdrop of the Inquisitor’s Palace – where words, silences, and gestures were once closely examined – where speech carried consequence and outward conformity was often required even when inner conviction differed, and alongside the other two works by the artists – em rebmemer # pictured at rest and em rebmemer # metric, here meaning loosens, giving way to rhythm, tone, and presence.

Attendance to this event requires a valid Heritage Malta ticket of admission. Heritage Malta Members as well as Student and Senior Passport holders enter for free.

Din il-mhux prestazzjoni tagħti ħajja lit-taraġ permezz ta’ skambju vokali dirett li jiżvolġi f’ħin reali. Ibbażat fuq risposti rifratti, ix-xogħol jesplora kif il-lingwa tinbidel hekk kif tgħaddi bejn il-preżenzi u mill-ispazju. Dak li jibda bħala espressjoni sempliċi bil-mod il-mod jittrasforma, u joħloq katina ta’ ħsejjes li jespandu, jirrifrattu u jinxterdu. Fl-isfond storiku tal-Palazz tal-Inkwiżitur — fejn darba kliem, silenzji u ġesti kienu jiġu eżaminati mill-qrib — fejn il-kelma setgħet iġġib magħha konsegwenzi u fejn il-konformità esterna spiss kienet meħtieġa anke meta l-konvinzjoni interna kienet differenti, u flimkien maż-żewġ xogħlijiet l-oħra tal-artisti, em rebmemer # pictured at rest u em rebmemer # metric, it-tifsira tinħall u tagħti lok għar-ritmu, it-ton u l-preżenza.
