Guided tour to 'Cathy Berberian. Stripsody' with Arnau Horta

Guided tour to the exhibition Cathy Berberian. Stripsody with Arnau Horta.

Coinciding with the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Cathy Berberian (Attleboro, Massachusetts, 1925 – Rome, 1983), this exhibition examines the genealogy of Stripsody, her debut piece as a composer and one of the most unclassifiable vocal creations of the twentieth century. Created with the help of Umberto Eco, this piece combines images, performance and experimentation with the word and language based on onomatopoeic sounds inspired by the iconography and idiom of comics.
