    Abstract

    The Voices of Stones is a performance about entanglements, points of intensity and encounters, regarding stones as collaborators; having their own voice and own sound, in a dynamic process of co-creation. The artist moves with the stones, activates and relates to them, responds to their sounds and let them give sound. Action and response are creating a feedback-loop of mutual dependence as well as it activates the surroundings, its surfaces, and acoustics.

    The Voices of Stones is grounded in the creation of affective relations. In new materialist theory and philosophy the non-human is regarded as also having agency, which in this performance is to view the performing bodies as multiple, and to include the body of the human performer as well as stones and other elements that they perform with. It is crucial how these human and non-human bodies are responding to, moving, and sounding together through the use of both acoustics and electronics.
