Following Partiturazero, the Italian-Swiss interdisciplinary artist Elena Boillat continues her exploration of vocality with a new performance piece that examines the relationship between resonance and shared listening.

Oracola stems from research conducted in Kosovo through encounters in social and religious contexts, focusing on the adhan, the Islamic call to prayer, traditionally entrusted to the male figure of the muezzin: a voice that traverses space, spreads and settles within bodies, gathering a community around a specific moment.
Taking this vocal ritual as her starting point, Boillat suspends its liturgical function in order to inhabit it from within and explore its physical, vibrational and perceptual qualities. Beginning with a simple formula repeated over time, the call extends beyond its vertical direction to unfold into a circular and ever-changing dimension. Through breath, gesture, song and silence, the body-voice of Oracola presents itself as a plural presence, inviting us to experience listening as a practice of resistance and transformation.
