FAR(AWAY) ENSEMBLE wants to be a modular and multidisciplinary ensemble where different
forms of arts and languages are converging into performances of Music-Theater. Performances
where Differences and Distances will be seen as resources and tools instead of simply as issues or
situations to avoid.
As an ensemble we would like to have some kind of a social impact; trying then to find innovative
form of communication and innovative ways to reach the curiosity and attention of the audience.
Our ideas will develop crossing different arts and fields,s tarting from social issues and topics,
through exploration to improvisation and composition.
About what is “Far away”; In general, we can refer to the concept of distance in a concrete and
abstract way. What is far physically not necessarily it will be far in the content, or two elements
sharing a small space they can be really far from each other in the substance. Anyhow, putting
together element coming from a “distance” and studying their behavior and interaction can give life
to many different and interesting phenomena that we would like to explore and represent.
Music theater is for us the dissolution of the fixed boundaries between the act of composing and the
staging, integrating them into a result that appears as an inseparable whole.
In a world where any sound, light, image or gesture has a clear function in the process of decoding
messages like: “press me” “buy me” “watch out” “come here” “go away”, etc. Faraway ensemble
want to re-negotiate the relations between elements of spatial, sonic, performative, visual and
notational as an act of emancipation of aesthetic form from its immediate semantic functionality.
