Sonic Scenography Episode #10: Hypothetical Road-Trip
This week´s broadcast is made by Rachel´s daughter Ruby and explores their mother daughter relationship. The recordings are of conversations about preparing and doing, and are made in different studios and maker-spaces in and around in Oslo. Sonic Scenography is a series of twelve radio broadcasts by artist Rachel Dagnall about the experience of incarceration. The theme is explored through non-verbal sound or sonic scenographies composed by former inmates in Beirut, Syria, the Mojave Desert, Oslo, Berlin and Barcelona. The project aims to showcase artistic expressions about prison, surveillance and imposed mental and physical demarcation, and illustrate how such experiences distort or change our interpretation of space and immediate surroundings. Actors move and create images of one specific place - both physical and mental - in the form of musical performances, physical movements, readings, conversations and more, with the use of resonance bringing a specific focus to the different rooms in which this takes place. Sonic Scenography is commissioned by and produced in collaboration with Radio Tenthaus and forms Rachel’s Master project at the Norwegian Theatre Academy in Fredrikstad, Østfold.
