Machi Dimitriadou-Lindahl is choreographing a work inspired by Antonio Manuel s exhibition Occupations/Discoveries, which inaugurated the opening of the Pharos Centre for Contemporary Art in October 2005. The exhibition was originally shown in Oscar Niemeyer s iconic Museum of Contemporary Art overlooking Guanabara Bay and Rio de Janeiro and was commissioned on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the discovery and occupation of Brazil by the Portuguese. It was a brave architectural intervention, consisting of a series of walls plastered on one side, which Manuel punctured with holes, redirecting the viewer s gaze away from the magnetic power of the landscape. It addressed the issue of restricted vision and the dichotomies of Brazilian society, itself polarised by barriers of wealth and poverty.

The main aesthetic thrust of the group is to draw upon the universally available palette of all sounds and imagery and to integrate these  by shaping and reshaping them - into an exploratory, ephemeral, momentary narrative co-composed by the members of the group. The live visuals will also encompass time-delayed and real-time interpretations of the performers on and off stage, deconstructing the space into a completely transformed environment. The electro-acoustic environment of Meta4 is special, involving 4 channels of amplification and a unique spatialisation of the sounds designed to give the audience the impression that they are floating within the sound world of the performance. <span style="background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: 0% 0%"> The concert will be simultaneously streamed on the Internet.</span> <b>Meta4 Ensemble</b>: Rolf Gehlhaar / SOUND=SPACE &amp; direction, Nouritza Matossian / vocals.
