Paula Rocosa

CYCLIC
"It's easy to handle the finished, everything is even fine with the unfinished, but the unfinished surpasses us, literally."
Cyclic is the title of the most recent solo project by pianist and artistic director Paula Rocosa, a recital that presents works that conceptually connect more than two centuries of creation around the idea of circularity. During this one-hour recital, a parallel narrative runs through the musical scene, constructed from textual quotes from the work La última frase , by the writer Camila Cañeque, and reflections from the creator of the show. The musical works crystallize from different angles the idea that is developed verbally live.
This format, which combines sound exhibition and reflection, mixes and recontextualizes literary and musical text, while influencing the limits of interaction with the audience and stimulating shared thinking.
