Chelpa Ferro - A Autópsia da Cigarra Gigante
12/16/2008
Teatro Oi Casa Grande, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
Working once again with Chelpa Ferro, Automática produced in December 2008, a grandiose presentation of the collective in the Teatro Oi Casa Grande, in Rio de Janeiro. The concert was part of Mutiplicidade [Mutliplicity], an event curated permanently by Batman Zavareze. With unprecendented spectacle created specially for this program, A Autopsia da Cigarra Gigante [The Autopsy of the Giant Cicada], gathered deconstructive pieces of classic music that were played by an orchestra conducted by the maestro, composer, arranger, instrumentalist and music producer Jacques Morelenbaum. Furthermore, Chelpa Ferro showed projections establishing a conversation between unusual instruments, incense, samplers, as well as with their Moby Dick, a giant drum set converted into a sculptural installation created by the group themselves.
