ARTISTIC APPROACH
“Poetry is made in the ear.”
Clément Vercelletto is a musician and stage director. His artistic research focuses on the
points of articulation and clarity between these two practices—specifically, how sound can
serve as a conceptual and structural premise for activating bodies and voices on stage.
He approaches sound and music as mediums for improvisation, composition in situ, and
staging. He conceives of music primarily as material—energetic and organic—shaped
through the body and gesture.
His methodology involves proposing sonic processes to performers, which they use as
formal frameworks, premises, or raw materials to engage voice and/or movement. The
material generated progressively forms the basis of the dramaturgy, in continuous
dialogue with the stage.
His work also seeks to reveal latent fictions—understood in the photographic sense of
“developing”—that exist in potential within perception.
From this perspective, theatre and narrative are considered omnipresent and only require
activation. Embedded in each of his sonic explorations are elements of theatre, dance, and
fiction waiting to surface.
His practice engages with reality, perception, the visible and the invisible, the infra-
ordinary, and the conditions that produce events.
