The Voice in the Bones
The Third Person Concerto-performance que tem por objecto a exploração da relação entre o cérebro, a consciência corporal e o ego, tendo por base as ideias desenvolvidas pelo neurocientista e filósofo cognitivo Thomas Metzinger e a ficção do escritor Thomas Ligotti. “There are no people, nothing at all like that.”* Thomas Ligotti “No such things as selves exist in the world: Nobody ever was or had a self.”** Thomas Metzinger “Durante trinta minutos vou despersonalizar um discurso indutor de auto-hipnose (uma ficção vazia que é plástica e, por conseguinte, dependente das idiossincrasias da espécie), modulando-o segundo o tempo lento e glacial da paranóia, como se da realidade impessoal de um fantoche se tratasse: VENTRILOQUISMO.” The Voice in the Bones * I Have a Special Plan For This World, in Teatro Grotesco, London, Random House, 2008. ** Being No One: The Self-Model Theory of Subjectivity, London, MIT Press, 2004.

The Third Person Concert-performance that aims to explore the relations between the brain, body awareness and ego, based on the ideas developed by the neuroscientist and cognitive philosopher Thomas Metzinger and the writerThomas Ligotti. “There are no people, nothing at all like that.”* Thomas Ligotti “No such things as selves exist in the world: Nobody ever was or had a self.”** Thomas Metzinger “For thirty minutes I will depersonalize an inductor discourse of self-hypnosis (an empty plastic fiction and therefore dependent on the idiosyncrasies of the species), modulating it following the slow and glacial time of paranoia, as if it were the impersonal reality of a puppet: ventriloquism.” The Voice in the Bones* I Have a Special Plan For This World, in Teatro Grotesco, London, Random House, 2008. ** Being No One: The Self-Model Theory of Subjectivity, London, MIT Press, 2004.
